I want to make jewelry out of vintage spoons and forks (silver plated) Do you think these are strong enough to cut the handles off the silverware?

no problem , i use mine all the time . nails ,bolts ,fence ,live stock tags ,heavy staples ,a couple pad locks . i carry it in the jeep when i mend fence . so silver plate ,nickel ,zink ,mild steel . no problem .AND if you heat up your silverware a little ,, just like butter. the jaws should last a long time. my old lady makes jewellery too, (she is always stealing my tools) i got her acetylene torch last x-mass and she squealed with joy . a little heat and anything can be cut . anything else ? just ask . age and trechery will always overpower youth and skill .

Dinky ol' spoons and forks? No Problem! If you want to punch holes through the metal, check out the "Eurotool EuroPunch 1.25mm Round Hole Punch Pliers for Sheet Metal" -- both amazingly powerful products.

They will for a very short while, then you will have to invest in a stronger bolt cutter, my drivers has went through them just cutting pins from lids that are not as thick as fork and spoons. I would get of course the Tekton but a stronger one.

They will cut a padlock's shackle,so I feel confident they will whack up a spoon or fork with no problem.

I can't say for certain, but from my experience using them they are fairly tough. I'm sure it would depend on the sharpness of your knife and amount of pressure.

Sorry I don't know the answer to that. They are not as thick as my regular silverware if that helps.

Haven't tried to bend the spoons but they feel strong. Forks are sharp. This is a nice weight and quality, if those are your concerns.

Don't know how to answer you. These are not heavy but they are not so light as to feel flimsy. These silverware is in between the 2. Heavy enough so that it won't bend easily but not so heavy that a child can use easily without any problems. My suggestion is to order a set and if you don't like them, return them. I ordered 2 sets because I loved the design, weight, quality and the price.

They are nice but they do not have the strongest magnets. I do not suggest this if you have a nice knife set. But to answer your question I have had nothing but problems with mine.

If you dont mind soot on the cookware then yes. Keep in mind the handles have plastic formed around the metal... these may melt but mine havent yet. You could always take a boxcutter and shave the plastic off prior to use.

They might work, however the spoon heads are quite thick. I would prefer to use thinner/sharper ones for salt and pepper.

I had some skinny silverware once and they did the same thing (fell through the basket). These are nice and wide. Here are some measurements just above the rounded end of the handle: Knife: 5/8" Full size fork: 5/8" Soup spoon: 5/8" Teaspoon: 1/2"

I bought them for a Christmas gift for my daughter and she hasn't used them yet. I can say it is a very nice set and upon checking them out after delivery, I would think they could hold silverware just fine.

Yes it will. I have done some steampunk jewelry doing just that and it worked out well. Be sure there is no oil on the bowl of the spoon. wipe it down with acetate. KEN...

I don't have many metal utensils. We use regular forks, knives, etc. and haven't had a problem using these. No problem with marks.

Hmmm....maybe. All my knives are commercial grade and heavy but if you have just a few light weight knives, the strips might work fine. Be careful.....that rack comes down loaded with knives and you'll be inventing a new dance step on the spot!! ( :

The rack is 4 and one half inches tall so spoons shorter than that will be entirely within the rack but I see no reason that is should not work well for your purpose. Be sure you always put the silverware in upside down (handles up) for hygiene purposes.

They probably would, but I didn't get to use them that extensively sadly. The handles are very cheap and snapped on me the first time I used them. Sorry.

Should work. These are super strong, and as long as your sink isn't too thick they should work for what your wanting to do.

Amanda ~ I haven't used it with any jewelry that has glued on stones so can't answer your question. I have a feeling that they would be okay though.
