Bail-making pliers for forming larger loops to a repeatable size — bails, jump rings and clasps wrapped around fixed 7 mm and 9 mm cylindrical jaws rather than judged by eye on a tapered nose. Wrap on one barrel or the other and every loop in the batch matches the last.

Box-joint construction stops the jaws twisting under the load of heavier gauge wire, and the smooth, polished steel jaw surfaces will not mark or scratch soft wires. The 34 mm jaws sit on a 184 mm steel frame with cushioned grips that ease hand fatigue over prolonged use. Note that the handle colour and material may vary from the item pictured.

  • Forms consistent loops with fixed 7mm and 9mm diameter cylindrical jaws.
  • Box-joint construction prevents jaw twisting and ensures alignment whilst working.
  • Smooth, polished steel jaw surfaces will not mark or scratch soft wires.
  • Comfortable, cushioned grips reduce hand fatigue during prolonged use.
  • Please note that the handle colour and material may vary from the item pictured.

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.
