Square Bail Forming — Parallel Action Pliers with Jaw Stop, 8mm × 8mm Jaws, 6 Inch

For flat-sided bails and angular components a round mandrel cannot make. The 8mm square jaws put a sharp, deliberate corner into wire, and the adjustable stop — set with its knurled thumb screw — means the last loop of a run matches the first. That repeatability is the whole point on production work.

A compound box-joint mechanism keeps the jaws parallel so pressure lands evenly across the wire, while the coil spring between the handles gives a smooth, self-opening action for repeat forming. Polished steel handles carry a stamped pattern for grip, and at 6 inches overall the tool sits comfortably in the hand through a long session.

• Compound box-joint mechanism keeps the 8mm square jaws parallel for even pressure.
