(PRESS RELEASE) A new combination shear and long nose pliers that is especially great for amateur and professional jewelry makers who travel with their projects for business and pleasure has been introduced by Xuron Corp. of Saco, Maine.

The Xuron Model 485C Combination Shear-Long Nose Pliers features a cutter and chain nose pliers in a single tool for cutting, holding, bending, and forming wire used in all types of jewelry making projects. The cutter is ideal for bead wire and soft gold or silver wire up to 12 gauge (2.05 mm dia.) and the pliers have smooth and rounded outside edges that form without marring.

Eliminating multiple tools, the Xuron Model 485C Combination Shear-Long Nose Pliers employs by-pass shear cutting that makes perfectly square cuts and the chain nose tips are tapered to fit into tight areas and make small bends. Manufactured from durable high carbon steel with a non-glare black finish, it has soft Xuro-Rubber cushioned grips and a return spring.

The Xuron Model 485C Combination Shear-Long Nose Pliers sells for $19.75 (sugg. list). A product catalog is available online and in print.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
