Tools & Equipment

The right jewelry-making tool for the job depends on the task you need to perform. Are you sizing rings, forming metal or setting stones? In Rio Grande's tool and equipment section, you'll find a selection of high-quality jewelry hand tools such as mandrels, hammers & mallets, files, pliers, cutters & shears, disc cutters & hole punches and precision measuring tools and scales designed to make each of those tasks easier with special features like ergonomic design and spring-loaded handles. Time is money and a bench stocked with time-saving, long-lasting, dependable jewelry making tools is well worth the investment.

A solid workspace is the foundation of every piece you make. We have jewelry workbenches and workbench accessories to suit any size jewelry studio or workshop and a wide selection of benchtop organizers, tool holders, tool racks and stands to keep your Foredom^® flexshaft system, flexshaft holders and accessories at the ready. You will also find many time-saving bench accessories like the GRS^® Benchmate^®, the Encore QC and the slide-and-lock bracket—each designed to stabilize your workpiece in the perfect position so you can maintain the optimal working posture.
