Bail Making Pliers, Small Round — 2 mm & 2.5 mm Mandrels for Jewellery Wire Looping
Master precise loop formation for delicate jewellery projects with these compact bail-making pliers, ideal for wire wrapping and component creation.
What it does
These pliers feature perfectly sized 2mm and 2.5mm round mandrels that consistently shape wire into uniform loops. The concave lower jaw gently cradles the wire against the mandrel, ensuring a clean wrap without marring the material. Box-joint construction guarantees precise jaw alignment for repeatable results, while the double-leaf spring provides a smooth, responsive action for efficient workflow.
How to use it
- Select the appropriate mandrel size for your wire.
- Gently bend the wire around the mandrel to form a loop.
- Use the pliers to secure and adjust the loop shape.
Who it's for
Essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and wire artists crafting intricate components like small pendants and earring findings. They are also an excellent choice for intermediate beaders and hobbyists working with fine gauge wires, offering a reliable alternative to freehand bending for consistent results.
