Looping pliers with a continuous taper from 10 mm down to 2 mm — one tool in place of a drawer of fixed-diameter round nose pairs. Pick the diameter by where you place the wire along the jaw, and the same spot gives the same coil every time: repeatable eyelets, links and loops in soft wire.

The smooth, conical steel jaws leave precious and non-ferrous metals unmarked, the box joint keeps everything aligned under forming pressure, and the textured cushioned grips soften the repetition. Bench jewellers, wire-wrap artists and electronics hobbyists will find the range covers most of what a working day asks.

  • Tapered steel jaws provide a continuous range of diameters from 10 mm to 2 mm.
  • Smooth, conical jaw surfaces form clean loops without marring precious or non-ferrous metals.
  • Box-joint construction keeps the jaws perfectly aligned whilst applying forming pressure.
  • Textured, cushioned grips offer comfort and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive work.
  • Replaces multiple pairs of round-nose pliers with a single, versatile looping tool.

Who it's for

A core tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and wire-wrapping artists across the UK. Also suitable for model makers and electronics hobbyists who require consistent loop forming for components and fixtures.

Common questions at the bench

UK or US sizing?
Our steel ring mandrels carry both UK alphabetical and US numerical scales unless the product specifically notes UK-only or US-only in the description. Hardwood and aluminium mandrels are unmarked — use a separate ring sizer to measure.
Can I hammer directly against the mandrel?
Steel mandrels yes — that is what they are designed for. Hardwood mandrels are for forming and finishing only; hammering against them dents the wood and marks the workpiece. Aluminium mandrels: light planishing only, no forging.
What is a stepped mandrel for?
Stepped (tiered) mandrels let you work batches of rings or bangles in fixed standard sizes — useful for production work where you are making matched pairs or a series. Tapered mandrels suit one-off resizing where you need every size in between.
How do I store it without rust?
Wipe with a light camellia or 3-in-1 oil after wet work or polishing, then store in a dry drawer or wall rack. A small silica gel pack in the drawer is cheap insurance against humidity in unheated workshops.
