Matched loops are what separate a tidy pair of earrings from a near-miss. These pliers carry marked positions from 2mm to 8mm on the stepped jaw, so both eye pins in a pair — or a whole production run of bails — form to the same diameter every time. The half-round profile also produces clean flat-to-curved forms that ordinary round nose jaws cannot manage.

One jaw is stepped half-round, the other a tapered round, both polished steel riding on a box joint with no wobble in the action. A double-leaf spring opens the handles for you between loops, and the cushioned blue PVC grips stay comfortable across a batch. Suits gold, silver, copper and other non-ferrous wires.

  • Features one stepped, half-round jaw and one tapered, round jaw for versatile shaping.
  • Jaws are clearly marked to produce consistent loops from 2mm to 8mm in diameter.
  • Box-joint construction ensures jaw alignment and smooth operation without wobble.
  • Fitted with a double-leaf spring for a responsive, self-opening action.
  • Blue, cushioned PVC handles provide a comfortable and secure grip for repetitive work.

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.
