Roll neat, even loops on head pins and eye pins with round tapered jaws. This black handled plier is sized for jewellery wire and findings, with spring free jaws that sit comfortably in one hand.

Specifications

Perfect for

• Making wire wrapped dangles
• Shaping ear wire hooks
• Forming jump rings and spirals

Compatibility

Works with: jewellery wire, jump rings, head pins, eye pins, chain and cord ends.

Pairs well with: the other pliers in this range, as most wire work needs two at once.

How to Use

1. Grip the wire at the point on the cone that matches the loop size you want.
2. Roll the tool, not the wire, to form the loop.
3. Use the same point on the cone each time so loops match.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this plier for?
Its round tapered jaws roll wire into loops; work nearer the tip for small loops and nearer the base for larger ones.

Will it work on my wire?
Yes for jewellery wire, jump rings, head pins and eye pins; anything harder needs a workshop tool.

Should I pick a round nose or a chain nose plier?
Round nose jaws are cone shaped and roll loops and curves. Chain nose jaws are flat inside and grip, bend and close jump rings; pick round nose first if you make dangles.

Do I need more than one plier?
Most wire work needs two, one to hold and one to turn; a chain nose and a round nose is the usual starting pair, with a cutter to trim.
