The Beadalon Mini Chain Nose Pliers are a pocket-sized jewellery-making plier. The jaws are flat, making them appropriate for flattening and squeezing, and the size makes them convenient for travel.

While I do own a few other mini pliers, these are by far the smallest. People with larger hands would find them nearly impossible to use. I myself have very small hands and I still find that these can be a bit tricky at times, so I don't use them as often as some other pliers in my collection.

Despite the size, the quality of these pliers is nothing to sneeze at. These are very competently made. These open very wide and can close very tightly shut. Because there aren't any teeth along the jaws, you don't have to worry about damaging your wire very easily. These pliers make it easy to grip something while you're working -- say if you're wire-wrapping -- or to make a bend very close to a bead. These squeeze just as tightly as any full-size plier.

While I wouldn't recommend these to anyone who has difficulty working with such a small tool, I would absolutely recommend them if you can get past their size. They do work very well.
