Features:

• RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT JOB: This wire working plier has two heads – a hollow/concave side and a round nose. The lower side is a half-moon shape that is used to form curves and perfect half circles. The round nose side is essential for creating consistent, well-shaped bends and loops. The jaws tapered; thickest at the base and taper to be thinner at the tip.
• PROFESSIONAL QUALITY: Created from a premium European design and made using the highest standards, this hollow/round nose plier measures 5 inches (127mm). It features hardened steel jaws, comfortable, non-slip vinyl handles, and double-leaf springs that aid with the hand fatigue often associated with repetitive motions.
• EVERYDAY USE: This plier is ideal for making wire loops, bending wire, eye pins, headpins, and beaded jewelry. It is also a great tool for repairing jewelry. To extend the life of your pliers and keep them in good condition, they have been coated in oil to lubricate the head and springs. Simply wipe clean with a towel and they are ready to use.
• JEWELERS TOOL: Whether you're a professional jewelry artist or a hobby crafter, this plier tool makes a great addition to your art and craft supplies.

Details: These pliers are not as easy to find and not as well known as regular round nose pliers, and I don't know WHY. They're easy to use, and give you perfect results with repetitive wire loop-making, and they are strong enough for making the finishing loops in heavy memory wire. One side of the nose is a classic round nose shape, and the other side is a concave shape that bends your wire in a perfect half-circle around the 'nose'. Simply move the pliers one or two more times around, and you will have a complete circle. Then use these pliers to gently yet securely grip your loop in one of your hands, while you use your other hand and some chain nose pliers to wrap the end of your wire around the base of the loop. Because these sturdy pliers do the actual pressing on the wire, you can loop tough memory wire with a couple of firm squeezes. With just a little practice, you will quickly master the use of these fantastic pliers, and I know you will love them. NOTE: Suitable for wire gauges up to 18 Gauge. Can be used with larger wire, but the risk of scratching the wire increases. Measurements: Pliers are 5 inches long, tip is 2mm at the narrowest point. Sturdy box joint construction. Leaf spring. NOTE: These pliers are intended for beading and other fine hobby work. Not recommended for heavy duty applications such as automotive, home improvement, or maritime use.
