These parallel action pliers expertly form consistent 8mm and 11mm round wire loops for repeatable pendant and bail creation.

What it does

Engineered with a compound box-joint mechanism, these pliers maintain perfectly parallel jaws throughout their entire movement, ensuring even pressure distribution for clean, uniform loops. The precisely machined 8mm and 11mm jaw diameters create consistent results batch after batch. A dedicated stop screw allows you to lock in your desired loop size for absolute repeatability, streamlining production for larger projects. The internal return spring aids in rapid operation.

How to use it

  • Set the adjustable jaw stop for your desired loop diameter.
  • Grip wire and bend around the appropriate jaw.
  • Release and repeat for identical loops every time.

Who it's for

Ideal for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and dedicated wire-workers needing to produce multiple identical components efficiently. This tool replaces slower, less consistent manual methods for creating bails and links, particularly when working with precious metals for small production runs.

Common questions at the bench

Will these mark soft silver wire?
Our flat-, snipe-, and round-nose pliers have polished interior jaws — they will not mark cleanly annealed precious-metal wire when used with normal grip pressure. For absolutely no-mark work on finished pieces, wrap the jaws with masking tape or nylon-jaw covers (sold separately).
Can these cut hardened wire?
Tungsten-carbide-tipped cutters in this collection handle hardened steel up to spring temper. Standard side cutters are for non-ferrous (silver, gold, copper, brass) up to half-hard. Check the product spec for the cutting capacity.
What is the difference between parallel and standard pliers?
Standard pliers pivot on a single point — the jaws scissor open and grip strongest at the tip. Parallel-action pliers stay perfectly parallel through the full opening, giving equal grip pressure across the whole jaw face. Parallel models are higher-precision (better for wire-wrapping and dead-soft annealed wire) but cost more.
Do they come spring-loaded?
Most of our bench pliers ship spring-loaded for one-handed operation. Where the spring is removable, the product description notes it. Spring tension is set for all-day comfort, not maximum grip.
