Bail Making Pliers, 6-in-1 — Wire Looping & Shaping, 2–9 mm Stepped Mandrel Jaws
Bails, ear wires and repeated loops all want the same thing: the identical diameter every time. The stepped jaws here carry six machined mandrel sizes from 2mm to 9mm — three cylindrical profiles per jaw — so one tool covers the range a drawer of single-size looping pliers used to. Matching loop diameter to wire? Our wire gauge guide covers the pairings.
Box-joint construction keeps the jaws aligned without sideways play, the satin steel finish holds glare down during close work, and the dark purple PVC-coated handles are smooth and secure in the hand. A compact answer to consistent loops for earrings, pendants and custom findings.
