Jewellery Wrap and Tap Pliers, Ring Forming Bail Making Wire Looping Tool, 6 Inch, Men's Ring Size
For jewellers making men's rings or large-scale components, these wrap-and-tap pliers provide the necessary size and leverage. The large cylindrical jaw is ideal for forming heavy-gauge wire into correctly proportioned rings and bails that smaller pliers cannot accommodate.
Key features
- One large cylindrical jaw for forming consistent, large-diameter curves.
- One half-round jaw to securely hold and bend wire against the mandrel.
- Durable steel body with a smooth, satin finish to minimise marring.
- Blue cushioned grips offer comfort and control whilst working.
- Sized specifically for forming men's rings and larger jewellery components.
Who it's for
An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and wire artists who regularly produce men's jewellery or heavy-gauge bangles. Also suitable for craftspeople creating larger decorative wirework where standard bail-making pliers are too small.
