Pliers for making your own findings in quantity: jump rings, eye loops, clasps and chain links that actually match. Three machined steps form loops at 3mm, 4mm and 5mm while the concave jaw opposite holds the wire firmly as it wraps. Match step to wire thickness with our wire gauge guide.

The parallel action keeps both jaws square through the stroke, so pressure lands evenly and loops come off round rather than ovalled. Spring-loaded metal handles with a textured grip ease the repetition, and the 140mm length gives leverage without losing feel. Intended for non-ferrous jewellery wire.

  • One concave jaw holds the wire securely whilst the opposing stepped jaw forms the loop.
  • Three machined steps produce consistent loop diameters of 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm.
  • Parallel action ensures the jaws remain aligned for even pressure and uniform shaping.
  • Spring-loaded metal handles with a textured grip reduce hand fatigue during repetitive work.
  • The 140mm length provides good leverage and control for detailed wire forming.

Who it's for

Ideal for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and craftspeople making their own findings like jump rings and clasps. Also a core tool for students and apprentices learning wire-wrapping and chain-making techniques with non-ferrous metals.

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.
