Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Master large-gauge wire forming for men's rings and substantial components with these dedicated wrap and tap pliers.

What it does

These pliers are engineered for creating consistent, generous curves and precise bends in thicker wires that standard tools struggle with. The substantial cylindrical jaw ensures uniform loops and wraps, while the opposing half-round jaw provides a secure grip for controlled bending against your chosen mandrel. Constructed from durable steel with a smooth, satin finish, they minimise surface marks on your work, ensuring a cleaner final piece.

How to use it

  • Position wire against the cylindrical jaw.
  • Grip and rotate to form loops and wraps.
  • Use the half-round jaw for controlled bends.

Who it's for

Essential for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths specialising in men's rings, bangles, or larger decorative wirework. These replace the need for multiple smaller pliers or makeshift solutions when working with heavier wires, streamlining your process.

Jacob ★★★★★

The handles provide a solid grip, and I was able to shape a heavy 12-gauge wire into a perfect men's ring curve on the first try. It really takes the guesswork out of large-gauge looping.

Leo ★★★★★

The wrap and tap design makes forming heavy 10-gauge wire for men's rings effortless and consistent. I've already used it to shape three solid silver bands without any slipping or uneven bends.

Steven ★★★★★

Finally, a tool that handles 6-inch length without flexing — the jaws held firm through a dozen heavy-gauge wraps on a men's ring blank. The tap end gave me precise, even curves that I couldn't get with my old round-nose pliers.
