Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Bail pliers for forming square-profile bails and components to the same size, every time. The 12 mm x 12 mm square jaws move in true parallel, so wire wraps around a constant section rather than a taper, and the adjustable stop with its knurled thumb screw locks in a repeat position for a run of matched bails.

Compound lever action multiplies hand strength for bending heavier gauge wire, and the return spring set between the handles re-opens the jaws for the next wrap. All-steel construction with curved, patterned handles gives grip and control, and at 6 inches (approx. 150 mm) overall the pliers carry the leverage that architectural-scale wirework demands.

  • 12mm x 12mm square steel jaws move in a true parallel motion.
  • Adjustable jaw stop with knurled thumb screw ensures consistent, repeatable results.
  • Compound lever action multiplies hand strength for forming heavier gauge wire.
  • Return spring set between the handles automatically re-opens the jaws.
  • All-steel construction with curved, patterned handles for grip and control.

George ★★★★★

Wrapping wire around the 12 x 12 mm jaws gives me the same square bail every single time, which finally fixed my consistency problem. The parallel action means the jaws don't angle open like my old round-nose pair, so the wire stays flat against the square section. Six inches fits my hand well too.

Eva ★★★★★

I've been making square bails by eye for years and they never quite matched. The stop on these jaws means every bail comes out the same 12mm size, and the parallel action keeps the wire from slipping sideways mid-wrap. My last batch of ten pendants finally looks uniform.

Matthew ★★★★★

Finally, a pair of pliers that actually keeps the jaws parallel when forming wire; the 12mm square profile is perfect for my projects.
