Hobby Tools

Hobbies are a great way to relax and express your creativity. Whether you are into woodworking, paper crafts or anything in between, having the right tools for the job is essential. With the right equipment, any task can become easier and more enjoyable. Here's what you need to take the hobby of your choice to the next level.

Craft Scissors

Craft scissors are essential for scrapbooking, paper crafts and other creative projects requiring precision cuts. At Excel Blades, we offer craft scissors with sharp blades and ergonomic handles that you can comfortably grip and use for long jobs. For intricate detail work, like applique or embroidery, try using small scissors made specifically for these delicate tasks. Our scissors are ideal for leather, cork and other dense materials.

Blades and Knives

Take a look at concave carving blades for delicate carving tasks requiring extra finesse, like model building or sculpting. These knives provide clean edges and fine finishes on any material. Plus, their unique shape allows them to reach deeper into tight spots.

A narrow saw blade makes precise cuts in materials like wood veneers and thin pieces of soft metals, such as brass or aluminum. Our saw blades stay extra sharp longer due to their high-quality construction, delivering consistent results each time you use them.

Round-Nose Pliers

Round-nose pliers are great tools for gripping small objects, such as jewelry components or beads, without damaging them. Thanks to their comfortable design with cushioned grips, these pliers give you plenty of control without straining your hands while handling tiny items.

Square Files

Investing in good-quality square files that last will save time and money. Square files effectively smooth out wooden surfaces, which is handy when constructing wood-based sculptures.

Jewelry Making Tools

As a jewelry designer, investing in quality jewelry equipment is essential to improve and perfect your process. To shape the different wires and other materials together, a jewelry designer needs a variety of jewelry-making tools that are strong yet delicate enough to handle any design's intricacies. Excellent tools lead to exceptional craftsmanship, which helps jewelry designers stand out in the marketplace.

Have a Pair of Pliers on Hand

Jewelry makers have various pliers in their toolbox. At Excel Blades, we offer a range of pliers to fit every need. Our selection includes round, flat, needle nose and bent nose pliers, with or without wire cutters.

Use the Right Cutters and Scissors

Cutters and scissors are also essential pieces of equipment. Side-cutting pliers will help you easily cut through wires and other harder materials. The right craft scissors are a wise investment as well.

Always Have an Equaling File

Depending on the type of materials you're using, an equaling file can be a great tool to keep within arm's reach. When creating jewelry, you typically use wood, stone and precious and semi-precious gems. You're also working with precious metals, including gold and silver. An equaling file helps smooth out materials and create the right shapes.

Consider Comfort

Since jewelry design requires you to work with your hands a lot, always invest in tools for jewelry making with good grips. These are engineered to support your hands when creating and crafting your jewelry. Supportive grips help to prevent your hands and wrists from becoming sore, fatigued or cramped.

Make the Investment

Invest in your business or craft as a jewelry designer to create the finest pieces of jewelry. These jewelry-making tools allow you to craft with finer materials and mold your jewelry with precision and comfort. As your craftmanship improves, your business will reap the benefits.
