Bails, ear wires and repeated loops all want the same thing: the identical diameter every time. The stepped jaws here carry six machined mandrel sizes from 2mm to 9mm — three cylindrical profiles per jaw — so one tool covers the range a drawer of single-size looping pliers used to. Matching loop diameter to wire? Our wire gauge guide covers the pairings.

Box-joint construction keeps the jaws aligned without sideways play, the satin steel finish holds glare down during close work, and the dark purple PVC-coated handles are smooth and secure in the hand. A compact answer to consistent loops for earrings, pendants and custom findings.

  • Six distinct mandrel sizes form loops and bails from 2mm to 9mm in diameter.
  • Each jaw features three machined, stepped cylindrical profiles for shaping wire.
  • Box-joint construction ensures the jaws remain aligned under load without sideways play.
  • Smooth, dark purple PVC-coated handles provide a comfortable and secure grip.
  • Jaws and body have a satin steel finish to reduce glare during close work.

Who it's for

A core tool for UK bench jewellers, jewellery students, and craftspeople creating wire-wrapped components. Ideal for anyone who needs to form consistent, repeatable loops for earrings, pendants, and custom findings without switching tools.

William ★★★★★

Finally, consistent loop sizes without guessing or filing — the stepped mandrel jaws are a game changer for my ear wires. The 2mm to 9mm range covers everything I need, and the tool feels solid in my hand.

Robert O. ★★★★★

I've made dozens of ear wires this week and every single loop comes out exactly the same size—the stepped jaws make it almost too easy to be consistent. The 2mm to 9mm range covers everything I need for bails too.

Miles ★★★★★

Finally, consistent loops without fiddling — the stepped mandrel jaws are machined precisely so 4mm really means 4mm. I used it last night for ear wires and each one matched perfectly.
