When a design calls for a run of matching rectangular bails, forming each one freehand wastes wire and patience. These pliers carry a 6mm x 12mm rectangular mandrel between jaws that stay parallel through the full squeeze, so the wire wraps square and true every time. Set the knurled thumbscrew jaw stop once and each bail comes off the tool at the same size — useful for pendant runs and architectural wire components.

The stainless steel body resists corrosion at the bench, and the compound lever action gives firm pressure without a heavy hand. A return spring opens the jaws for you between bends, and the curved, patterned handles keep the grip settled during repeat work.

  • Dual 6mm x 12mm rectangular jaws remain parallel throughout their movement.
  • Adjustable jaw stop with a knurled thumbscrew allows for repeatable sizing.
  • Compound lever action provides a firm grip whilst the return spring reduces hand fatigue.
  • Stainless steel construction with curved, patterned handles for improved grip.

Who it's for

A core tool for UK bench jewellers, jewellery students, and wire artists who favour contemporary designs. Ideal for anyone needing to produce multiple, identical rectangular wire forms or pendant bails without variation.

John V. ★★★★★

Finally, my bails come out identical every time—the parallel action really makes a difference. The 6x12mm mandrel is exactly the size I needed for my standard designs.

Brian ★★★★★

The 6×12 mm mandrel is exactly the size I need for bending matching bails, and the jaw stop keeps every single one consistent without me having to check. I’ve made a dozen in an afternoon, and the stainless steel hasn’t marked the wire at all.

Zoe ★★★★★

The parallel jaws are a game-changer for consistent bails—no more wobble or taper at the ends. I cranked out a dozen 6mm bails in under half an hour, and each one sits flush against the next. The steel feels solid in the hand, not flimsy like my old pair.
