Small Size Round Bail Making Pliers, Jewellery Wire Looping, Crafts, 2 mm & 2.5 mm
For jewellers and wire artists producing delicate work, these bail-making pliers consistently form fine loops and bails. The dual 2mm and 2.5mm mandrels are ideal for small-scale pendants, earrings, and fine chain connections where larger bails would look oversized. All stock is held in the UK.
Key features
- Dual round mandrels fixed at 2mm and 2.5mm for consistent loop sizing.
- Concave lower jaw securely forms wire around the mandrels without marking.
- Box-joint construction ensures jaws remain parallel and aligned under pressure.
- Double-leaf spring provides a smooth, self-opening action for repetitive work.
- Bright blue cushioned foam handles offer comfort and reduce hand fatigue during use.
