This tool is UK-stocked, with a same-day dispatch target for orders placed before 2pm UK time, Monday to Friday.

Key features

  • Crafted from solid hardwood with a smooth, natural finish to protect your work.
  • Continuous oval taper allows for creating a wide range of bangle sizes on a single tool.
  • The wood surface prevents marring or damaging malleable metals during forming.
  • A generous 14-3/4 inch length provides ample working space for larger pieces.

Who it's for
