Blanchard edge clamp pliers is designed for controlled edge work in leathercraft, particularly during gluing and edge forming. Made from high-quality steel with a rubber-coated handle, the tool sits comfortably in the hand and offers secure, fatigue-free control during use.
The smooth, flat jaws apply wide and even pressure directly along the leather edge, helping glued edges bond firmly without marking or damaging the grain. This even compression keeps the edge compact as the adhesive cures, resulting in cleaner and more consistent edge finishes.
The clamp is also well suited for forming rolled edges. After skiving and rolling the leather, the jaws can be used to pinch both sides evenly, holding the shape in place while the glue sets. The handle design allows pressure to build gradually, giving precise control over clamping force and reducing the risk of over-compression.
