For jewellers forming fine bails and delicate wire components, these pliers provide two fixed oval mandrel sizes. They are essential for creating consistently shaped small loops for earring wires and pendant connections, eliminating the guesswork of free-forming. All tools are UK-stocked for fast dispatch.
Key features
- One jaw forms a 4.5mm × 3.5mm oval loop for small bails.
- The opposing jaw forms a smaller 3.2mm × 2.5mm oval loop for fine links.
- Smooth, polished steel jaws prevent marring of soft precious metal wires.
- Box joint construction maintains jaw alignment under repeated pressure.
- Cushioned, teal-coloured grips provide control during delicate work.
Who it's for
A core tool for UK bench jewellers working with fine-gauge gold and silver wire. Also suited for wire artists and students who require repeatable, small-scale oval shapes for their designs.
Specifications
