Bail Making Pliers — Small Square Mandrels, 3 mm & 5 mm, Wire Forming, Jewellery & Crafts
Master precise square bails and consistent wire forms with these dual-ended square mandrel pliers.
What it does
These pliers feature two square mandrels, 3mm and 5mm, enabling repeatable forming of jump rings, consistent loops, and perfectly square bails. The box-joint construction ensures the jaws remain perfectly aligned, even under pressure, delivering clean, parallel bends in soft metals. Their robust steel construction is designed for years of daily bench work, offering a reliable solution for intricate wire manipulation.
How to use it
- Select the appropriate jaw size for your wire gauge.
- Gently grip and wrap wire around the square mandrel.
- Form consistent loops and angles with controlled pressure.
Who it's for
An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and wire-wrapping artists. Whether you're creating custom findings, fabricating components, or adding precise right-angled bends for intricate designs, these pliers streamline repetitive tasks and replace the need for multiple single-sized mandrels.
