Create identical 3mm loops consistently and efficiently with these parallel action round nose pliers.

What it does

These pliers deliver precise 3mm loops by maintaining a true parallel action across their smooth, round jaws. The adjustable jaw stop, secured by a knurled screw, locks the jaw gap, eliminating guesswork and ensuring each component is identical. This compound box-joint mechanism guarantees jaw alignment throughout their movement, preventing marring on softer metals. Constructed from durable steel with a non-glare brushed finish, they offer reliable performance.

How to use it

  • Set the adjustable stop for your desired loop diameter.
  • Grip wire and gently bend around the 3mm jaws.
  • Wipe clean after use and store safely.

Who it's for

Essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and wire-workers focused on batch production. Ideal for anyone needing to create multiple identical jump rings or eye pins without constant measurement, streamlining workflows for both intermediate and professional makers.

Common questions at the bench

How do I make loops the same size every time?
Form every loop at the same point on the jaw. On stepped or tapered jaws, a fine marker line at that point helps you find it again; pliers with a fixed loop size, a jaw stop or pegs do this for you, so see this product's description for how to set or use them. A test loop in scrap or copper wire first saves precious metal.
What wire thickness can I use?
If this product's description gives a wire size or gauge, stay within it. Annealed (softened) wire forms neater loops with less force; harder or thicker wire springs back more and puts more strain on the jaws.
Will these mark my wire?
Any jaw can mark soft metal or a polished finish if you grip too hard or the jaws are dirty, and serrated or textured jaws mark more easily than smooth ones. Use the lightest grip that holds the piece and keep the jaws clean; on finished or plated work, cover metal jaws with masking tape or use nylon-jawed pliers.
How should I look after them?
Wipe them clean after use, keep them dry and store them so the jaws do not knock against other tools. Keep the moving parts free of grit and filings so the action stays smooth, and do not use them as a hammer or a lever.
