For the two triangular sizes wirework calls on most, these pliers put the mandrel straight in your hand — no swapping formers mid-job. The fixed 4 mm and 6 mm triangular jaws turn out repeatable loops, jump rings and decorative elements with the same sharp profile from first to last, which is what makes a batch look like a batch.

Box-joint construction stops the jaws twisting out of line under load, and the satin-finished steel faces are smooth so soft metals come away unmarred. Cushioned teal handles keep the grip secure through repetitive forming, and at 17.15 cm overall the pliers sit comfortably in the hand for detailed work.

  • Features one 4mm and one 6mm triangular steel mandrel jaw.
  • Solid box-joint construction prevents jaw twisting or misalignment under load.
  • Smooth, satin-finished steel jaws help prevent marring of soft metals.
  • Cushioned, teal-coloured handles provide a comfortable and secure grip.

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.
