Jump rings you wind yourself match your wire and your design — provided the coil is consistent. These two stepped stainless steel mandrels give you fixed diameters to wind against, one large and one small, so every ring in a batch comes off the coil the same size. They serve coils, jump rings and wire-wrapped components alike; pair each step with a sensible wire thickness using our wire gauge guide.

The shafts are solid stainless steel and resist flexing under wire tension, which is what keeps a coil's diameter true from the first wrap to the last. Ribbed blue foam handles take the ache out of long winding sessions, and the steel body wipes clean after use.

  • Blue foam handles with a ribbed texture provide a secure, comfortable grip during sustained use.
  • Two stepped stainless steel mandrels for forming a wide range of coil and jump ring diameters.
  • Solid stainless steel shafts resist flexing to maintain consistent coil diameters under wire tension.
  • The set includes one large and one small mandrel to cover a broad range of component sizes.
  • Each mandrel features multiple, clearly defined steps for repeatable and accurate wire wrapping.

Who it's for

Common questions at the bench

How do I make jump rings with it?
Wind the wire round the mandrel in tight, even turns, each touching the last, keeping the same tension throughout. If the mandrel has a slot or hole at the tip, use it to hold the wire end as you start. Slide the coil off and cut through it along its length, with a jeweller's saw or flush cutters, to free the rings.
What wire can I use?
If this product's description names a wire type or thickness, stay within it. Soft (annealed) wire winds more evenly and with less effort; harder wire springs back, so its rings come out a little larger than the mandrel.
How do I get matching rings?
Wind every coil for a batch on the same mandrel or step, with the same wire and the same tension. Change the mandrel, the step or the wire and the rings change size too.
How should I look after it?
Wipe the mandrels clean after use and keep them dry. If they came with a case, keep them in it, so the forming surfaces do not knock against other tools and pick up nicks that would mark the wire.
