Square Bail Forming — Parallel Action Pliers with Jaw Stop, 8mm × 8mm Jaws, 6 Inch

For flat-sided bails and angular components a round mandrel cannot make. The 8mm square jaws put a sharp, deliberate corner into wire, and the adjustable stop — set with its knurled thumb screw — means the last loop of a run matches the first. That repeatability is the whole point on production work.

A compound box-joint mechanism keeps the jaws parallel so pressure lands evenly across the wire, while the coil spring between the handles gives a smooth, self-opening action for repeat forming. Polished steel handles carry a stamped pattern for grip, and at 6 inches overall the tool sits comfortably in the hand through a long session.

• Compound box-joint mechanism keeps the 8mm square jaws parallel for even pressure.
• Adjustable jaw stop with a knurled thumb screw for setting and repeating precise loop sizes.
• Integrated coil spring between the handles provides a smooth, self-opening action.
• Creates sharp, angular bends for distinctive flat-sided bails and components.
• Polished steel construction with a stamped pattern on the handles for improved grip.

Who it's for

Designed for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and wire artists who require consistent, angular forms in their work. Also suitable for craftspeople and model makers working with non-ferrous metals who favour repeatable component fabrication.
