Tweed Loop Forming Pliers with Three-Step Round Beak for Precision Wire Work
These Tweed-style pliers are designed for creating precise, repeatable loops in wire. The design features a three-section stepped round beak opposite a concave, serrated beak. This combination allows you to form multiple loops of the same dimension without the wire slipping.
The steps on the round beak provide built-in guides for consistency, while the serrated surface on the opposing jaw ensures a secure grip on the wire during bending and closing operations. Constructed from clinical-grade stainless steel, these pliers are durable, corrosion-resistant, and can be fully sterilised in an autoclave.
Ideal for jewellers forming links and eye pins, model makers bending components, or electronics technicians shaping component leads.

Is this the right tool for you?
Best for
- UK jewellers creating consistent eye pins and chain links in silver wire.
- Model engineers bending brass or copper wire for custom components.
- Electronics technicians shaping component leads for through-hole PCB work.
- Orthodontic lab technicians needing a reliable, autoclavable bending tool.
Not for
- Bending hardened steel wire or memory wire; use appropriate heavy-duty pliers.
- Cutting wire; these are forming pliers and have no cutting edge.
- Heavy-gauge stock; best suited for fine to medium gauge wires.
