1-Step Looper Pliers | 2.25mm Loops | Yellow - Eye Pin and Wire Loop Tool

Make eye pins and earring loops that all match. This 1-step looper cuts the wire and rolls a 2.25mm loop in one squeeze, and the printed guide says it works with 24 to 18 gauge wire.

It saves the measuring and rolling you would do by hand with a round nose plier, so batches of earrings and bead links come out even.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size loop does it make?
It rolls a 2.25mm loop and works with 24 to 18 gauge wire, as printed on the tool guide.

Can I use it on thicker wire?
No. Above 18 gauge the wire may not cut cleanly or close into a full loop.

Should I buy the looper or a round nose plier?
The looper makes the same 2.25mm loop every time in one squeeze, which suits repeat earring and link work. A round nose plier makes any loop size by hand and suits one off designs.

Is it a cutter as well?
Yes. One squeeze trims the wire and forms the loop, so you do not need a separate cutter for each link.
