Student Toolkits

Although, I do not sell the toolkit as shown, I do sell a hand tool that I helped invent for the second book; the Mandrel-tip Pliers.

As an educator, I am of the opinion that quality hand tools help to decrease frustration and increase the qualtiy of my students finished jewelry. To this end, I have recently assembled ten toolkits that feature Swanstrom pliers; which are hands down the best pliers available. I do not sell the toolkit shown, but you can get these pliers exclusively from Rio Grande, (800)545.6566.

one flat needle file (114-729),
one round needle file (114-738),
