Bail Making Pliers — Parallel Action, 4 mm & 5 mm Round Mandrel Jaws, Wire Wrapping Tool

Bails and loops repeat properly when the mandrel never changes. These pliers carry 4mm and 5mm round mandrels in one tool, and the parallel action grips the wire evenly rather than at a single pinch point, so each wrap for a pendant or earring forms true to the last.

A compound lever keeps the jaws parallel through their whole travel, and an adjustable stop screw limits closure so soft wire is not marked. The body and jaws are blackened steel, and the bare curved metal handles give a direct, solid feel in the hand.

• Features dual round mandrels in 4mm and 5mm diameters for forming loops.
• Compound lever design ensures jaws remain parallel throughout their movement.
• Includes an adjustable stop screw to limit jaw closure and prevent wire marking.
• Constructed from steel with a blackened finish on the body and jaws.
• Uncoated, curved metal handles provide a solid, direct grip.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, craftspeople, and wire artists working with precious or non-ferrous metals. Ideal for creating consistent loops for pendants, earrings, and other fine jewellery components where repeatability is key.
