Oval Bail & Loop Forming — Medium Mandrel Pliers, 7.5 × 5 mm & 6 × 4 mm Jaws

For bails and links with an oval section rather than the usual round — a small change that gives wire components a distinct visual character. The two fixed jaw sizes, 7.5 × 5mm and 6 × 4mm, are non-tapered, so every loop formed on them repeats exactly: matched pairs and production runs come out identical.

Polished steel jaws shape wire without marring silver or other soft precious metals, a box joint holds the jaws in alignment through the squeeze, and a double-leaf spring returns the tool smoothly between bends to keep hand fatigue down. The teal cushioned grips stay comfortable through repetitive work, and stock is held in the UK for our same-day dispatch target.

• Forms consistent oval loops in two sizes: 7.5 × 5mm and 6 × 4mm.
• Box-joint construction ensures jaw alignment and smooth, reliable operation.

Who it's for
