Loops made on ordinary round nose pliers tend to wander in size; these pair a round jaw with a concave one, so the wire is supported on both sides as it forms and comes off as a clean, consistent curve. That makes short work of loops, jump rings and the small repeated curves that hold a design together. Matching wire to loop is easier when you know your sizes — see our wire gauge guide.

A double-leaf spring re-opens the jaws between loops, which matters more than it sounds across a hundred repetitions, and the padded, non-slip grips keep the tool comfortable. The steel body carries a matte, non-glare finish that is easy on the eyes under bench light.

  • One round jaw forms the wire against an opposing concave jaw for clean loop creation.
  • A double-leaf spring provides a smooth, self-opening action for repetitive work.
  • Padded, non-slip comfort grips reduce hand fatigue during extended bench sessions.
  • Constructed from steel with a non-glare, matte finish to reduce eye strain.
  • Ideal for forming loops, jump rings, and curved components in precious metal wire.

Common questions at the bench

How do I make loops the same size every time?
Form every loop at the same point on the jaw. On stepped or tapered jaws, a fine marker line at that point helps you find it again; pliers with a fixed loop size, a jaw stop or pegs do this for you, so see this product's description for how to set or use them. A test loop in scrap or copper wire first saves precious metal.
What wire thickness can I use?
If this product's description gives a wire size or gauge, stay within it. Annealed (softened) wire forms neater loops with less force; harder or thicker wire springs back more and puts more strain on the jaws.
Will these mark my wire?
Any jaw can mark soft metal or a polished finish if you grip too hard or the jaws are dirty, and serrated or textured jaws mark more easily than smooth ones. Use the lightest grip that holds the piece and keep the jaws clean; on finished or plated work, cover metal jaws with masking tape or use nylon-jawed pliers.
How should I look after them?
Wipe them clean after use, keep them dry and store them so the jaws do not knock against other tools. Keep the moving parts free of grit and filings so the action stays smooth, and do not use them as a hammer or a lever.
