Large bails and big loops are awkward on round nose pliers, where the taper changes your diameter with every millimetre of jaw. These wrap-and-tap pliers fix the geometry instead: three parallel stepped mandrels at 13mm, 16mm and 20mm, so the pendant bail you wrap today matches the one you wrap next month. Form silver, gold or copper wire around the step, tap it true, move on.

The jaws are solid steel with no taper across each step, held in line by a lap joint that stays square under working pressure. Blue PVC-coated handles cushion repetitive wrapping, and beyond a wipe-down at the end of the day the tool asks for no maintenance.

  • Parallel stepped mandrels form three distinct bail sizes: 13mm, 16mm, and 20mm.
  • Solid steel jaws provide a sturdy, non-tapered surface for wrapping and tapping wire.
  • Blue PVC-coated handles offer a comfortable, non-slip grip during repetitive tasks.
  • Lap joint construction ensures the jaws remain aligned under working pressure.
  • Suitable for forming non-ferrous metals including silver, gold, and copper wire.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, jewellery students, and wire artists who produce pendants or statement pieces. Ideal for anyone needing to create medium-to-large, repeatable loops and bails without changing tools.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The step sizes are perfectly spaced for consistent loops every time, and the PVC grip makes these much more comfortable than my old metal pliers. Finally, a tool that actually solves the taper problem instead of fighting it.

Samuel J. ★★★★★

I’ve been struggling with inconsistent loop sizes on round nose pliers, but these stepped barrels give me exact repeats every time. That PVC grip is a nice bonus too—comfortable for longer sessions without slipping.

Sofia Z. ★★★★★

The stepped jaws are a revelation for someone like me who always struggled with wire slipping on tapered pliers—the diameter stays consistent no matter where I grip. I’ve wrapped three different bail sizes this afternoon and each one came out identical, and the PVC handles make it easy to squeeze ha
