Bail Making Pliers, Medium Round — 3.5 mm & 5.5 mm Mandrels for Jewellery Wire Looping
Create consistent, precisely sized loops for jewellery components with these medium round bail-making pliers.
What it does
These pliers feature a dual-step jaw design, offering 3.5mm and 5.5mm mandrels to form wire loops. The opposing concave jaw guides the wire securely around the chosen step, ensuring a clean, repeatable bend. Their robust box-joint construction maintains jaw alignment, critical for accurate work under pressure, while the polished steel surfaces prevent scratching delicate wire.
How to use it
- Select the desired loop size on the stepped jaw.
- Gently grip wire and curve around the mandrel.
- Form clean, uniform bails for pendants and connectors.
Who it's for
Essential for bench jewellers and wire-workers producing multiple identical components. Ideal for silversmiths and serious hobbyists needing to create consistent pendant bails or ear wire loops efficiently, replacing less precise manual bending methods.
