Shoemaker Cobbler Lasting Pliers 8 Inch

8 Inch Shoemaker Cobbler Lasting Pliers.

Crafted for precision and durability, these 8 Inch Shoemaker Lasting Pliers (Cobbler Pliers) are an essential tool for any leatherworker, cobbler, or shoemaker. Whether you’re pulling stubborn nails from a boot sole, stretching leather around a last, or extracting old tacks during a restoration, these pliers are designed to give you a strong grip and superior control.

Built from hardened high-carbon steel, these pliers are engineered for long-lasting performance in demanding environments. The robust jaw design features wide, rounded pincers with sharp inner edges that excel at gripping, pinching, and pulling—especially on curved or uneven surfaces like boot soles, heel counters, or midsoles. The pincer shape also allows for precise nail removal without excessive marring or gouging of the surrounding leather or material.

At 8 inches in length, these pliers offer just the right amount of leverage without being too bulky in the hand. The ergonomic handle shape provides a comfortable grip for extended use and is designed to reduce hand fatigue, whether you’re working at a bench or on-site. A slight texture or knurling on the handles ensures a secure hold even if your hands are wet or gloved.

These shoemaker pliers are a versatile addition to any leathercraft toolkit and are especially valuable for:

• Removing nails, brads, or tacks from soles or leatherwork.
• Tensioning leather when wrapping around a last or shaping form.
• Pulling lacing, stitching, or tight-fitting pieces.
