How have I missed these for 10 years of jewelry making?! ❤
Welcome!!
We are glad you found us.
Thanks so much...have had my tool for 2 years and never new how to use it. 🍁🍂🍁
same 😊
I have been using a manual method to do the looping, and every time, it would be different. But after watching this video, I got myself one wire-looping plier, and things have been straightforward. Thank you very much for the video.
That's great!!
I personally LOVE wire looping pliers because I use them for both simple wire loops and wrapped wire loops. The 1-step looper tool is a great product and fantastic for simple wire loops. It's hard to say which I prefer, if you do a bunch of simple wire loops, you will probably really love the 1-step looper but if wrapped wire loops are more your thing (which is mainly what I do) then wire looping pliers are a must. I hope this helps!
Wow, I am so glad I watched your video, I've been struggling with making loops with the round nose plier.... such a pain. This tool is great.... !!!
After many years wire looping pliers are still our absolute favorite tool. Glad we could share them with you!
@@beadaholique What size are they? When I go to buy them they are in different sizes and I want the most common one, the one for earring wire loops mostly. There are the ones with 3 different sizes on the barrel but they look like they may be a bit finicky. Your suggestions, please. Love the demonstration. You make it look so easy.
What difference does it makes that she said bunches its very nice of her to share with others who loves the craft of making jewelry. Thanks for the tutorial
Thanks a million! I have been struggling making those perfect round loops with the tools I have, with a 15% success rate and a lot of grey hair. I’m certainly going to buy this plier, it’s a game changer for sure!!
Thank You for this Great Video!! Just received my Looping Pliers and supplies from Beadaholique and made my first necklace from one of your videos! Where have these been all my life! Ha! I so Appreciate your Great Company and Teachers! You are the Best!

Thank you so much! just beginning to use wire in my designs and this is a wonderful tool. Your videos are so helpful.
Thanks for a good tutorial. Yes I agree it would be good to see a tutorial on how to use the 3 step looping pliers. Love Beadaholique tutorials because they are clear instructions and easy to follow. Also the video quality is excellent. I buy lots of stuff from them via Amazon Uk
Great video!! Clear photography, simple instructions & overall great teaching video!! Thank you!!!!
A valuable tool & information to enhance my capabilities. Very much appreciated. Your store is great as well and I placed a productive order of great items.
Thanks for the kind words Robert!
Oh, so that's how to use them. Bought a pair quite a while back and couldn't remember why. Ha ha!
Esp. great to know they work with memory wire. TFS!
The wire used in this video is Artistic Wire Antique Brass Color Copper Craft Wire - 26 Gauge. You can get it on Beadaholique . com's website. The links for the supplies in this video are located in the video description underneath the video.
Very helpful, thank you so much.
I'm getting me a set of these. I don't make jewelry but these will help me heaps with my job
A lot of jewelry makers still haven't heard of these so I bet they're practically unknown in some other industries. What sort of wire work are you looking to do with them?
Thank you for sharing this video. Easy to follow instructions - great visual!
I accidentally ordered a different style of looping pliers from Amazon that has 3 different sizes on the plier part instead of being straight. I typed in looping pliers for jewlery on Amazon and they brought up the ones in this video with the straight part on the plier side. I find this very important when buying looping pliers, the 2 different kinds.
I use something quite similar (two rounded tips) to tie wire salmon lure pieces specifically homemade version of something called a cable baiter for anchovies or similar to an ez baiter for herring. These things ( pliers, clippers and mini needle nose pliers were like $ 5.00 ea and Ive gotten pretty darn good at making these for pennies on the dollar for what is charged at the tackle shops - in fact they are better and I can customize their length to the baits. I enjoy it a great deal and its a great way to pass a rainy day.
I have this in my wish list. I can't wait to get this plier!
I bought these because someone said they worked great. Im doing something wrong because im getting crimps in my wire, not loops on my headpins. I dont know if being left-handed makes a difference. I'll practice more, but i wish I could get them to work as well as you do.
Fun-tastic!
Very helpful. Thank you
does a very nice job in describing how to you the loopiing plier. Would appreciate if she had said which wire to use
Thank you. I bought these and didn't know how to use them. A great lesson!
Thank you for the great info and tutorial. I am looking forward to using this to make charns for the scrapbooks I am making.
Thanks I'm heading over to AC Moore in the morning. I love making earrings just not steady with the round nose to go solo yet...
I think you just saved my life!
I finally understand why my loops are always on one side only.Min 2.49 explained everything. Thank you.
Glad this was so helpful for you! Once you've got your looping technique down and can make these fast so many different projects become an absolute snap
Love it! Thanks for the video, I'm adding this tool to my list!
Thank you so much!!!😍
Hi! You can definitely use wire looping pliers with head pins and they might be an easier option for you being left handed.
Omg, Love it!!
It was very helpful.
Thank you
Can you create big eye beading needles with that tool and artistic wire and crafting wire?
Thank you, it was very helpful.
Thanks a lot
beautiful! thanks so much
Glad we could help! We love these pliers and we talk about them every chance we get because plenty of people still haven't heard of them yet!
Thank you so much 💕!
Happy to help!
I have a pandora bracelet that came with head pins, and tiny beads, would you do the same technique using the pliers? I am left handed, I tried this with regular jewelry pliers, the loop, came out you might say backwards, or in the wrong place. Love the vid.
May I have some help, I have no clue what I'm doing. If I were to make a simple loop at the top of a pin which I'd added a bead to, to make a pendant, is this secure to just put a chain through? Or would it need to be squeezed together to secure, or soldered by someone who did know what they were doing?
Thanks
Hi ich habe mir diese Zange auch schenken lassen und es funktioniert prima.
love it thank you!!
I love mine , it makes all your eyes the same size.
Do you prefer this tool to the 1- step wire looper tool by beadalon?
Excellent video.
I am a model builder (HO Trains) building a large model railroad here in NJ (about 400 feet of mainline when completed). I use wire sometimes for projects and especially use it for scratch building scale model bridges (based on measurement from the prototype bridges). I have two questions, if i may.
1. Can these pliers you used make a large circle, like the eye loop example you showed, only with the circle being about a half inch round.
2. I am trying to bend small gauge solid (full hard) steel wire in a U shape.
The gauge wires I work with are (20AWG, 22AWG and 24AWG), which are
roughly .032, .025 and .020 in inches, respectively.
I am bending one end of the small wire 90 degrees and at the other end of the wire (about 2 inches away), I also bend a 90 degree angle. Bending the 90 degree angles is not too difficult, (with regular pliers) however getting the bends to be on the same plain (meaning if you were to lay the bent U shaped wire on a level surface it would lay completely flat in a U shape w/90 degree corners). That is the difficult part. Bending that second 90 degree angle to
match the first bend so they point exactly in the same direction has
been the challenge.
Can you offer any suggestions? Thanks very much.
Philip
Hi Philip, great questions, I'll try to answer them as best I can. I've never seen wire looping pliers that are quite as big as you'd need for that. The maximum sized loop you can get from the pliers in the video is about 1/4th of an inch. The closest thing we carry for that sort of work would be these mandrel pliers which have a 12mm mandrel: beadaholique.com/products/wubbers-extra-large-bail-making-mandrel-pliers-12-and-15mm-jaw-sizes
Working with those and a pair of flat nose pliers you could free hand loops that would be close to half an inch.
For your other question, that sounds like the sort of work that would best be done by making a custom jig. I'm thinking something like a small piece of plywood with a 2 inch pipe attached to it, and a nail on either side of the pipe. That way you can do your 90 degree bend on one end of the wire, feed it through the space between the nail and the pipe, then bend the wire around the pipe, feed it up around the other side, and then do your second 90 degree bend at the second nail. Have a surface to work against and forms to help you shape your bends will help a lot. If need be you can even hammer the wire a bit with a rubber mallet to help it stay flat.
@@beadaholique Thanks for this very detailed reply. I am going to have to absorb what you alluded to in how to make the jig. Sound interesting. I just need to digest and visualize what you suggested. A shame youtube doesn't easily allow us to post photos or diagrams in our comments. That would make it easier. I'll ponder this and hopefully can visualize what you mentioned. I really appreciate your very detailed reply. Thanks very much!
Philip
@@uptownphotography I know I wish it was easy to post images here, it's tough to visualize these things, and I'm not sure if I'm correctly visualizing what you're trying to make either. Here though, take a look at this small jig we sell for making wire rings. What I was trying to describe was something pretty similar to this: beadaholique.com/products/artistic-wire-findings-forms-jig-tool-adjustable-ring-jig-for-18-24-gauge-wire
You'd want something a little larger and probably much sturdier for working with hard stainless steel wire, which is why I was suggesting building one yourself, but that's the basic sort of tool I was suggesting.
@@beadaholique OK...I see what you're talking about. That's a cool tool with the link you sent. The "U" shape object I need to make is not rounded, it has 90 degree bends (like a corner) instead of a rounded U shape. It's more like what a staple looks like, except about 2 inches between the two corners. Does that make sense?
@@uptownphotography Ooh a staple, ok now I'm picturing that right. Yeah I definitely think it would be helpful to make yourself a a jig for that kind of wire shape
Nice video sir..wat name of that plier and size sir did u use? Big thnks...cheeerss!!
Thanks for watching! Links to all the pliers in the video are in the description. Thank you.
What gauge wire are u using? I am having a problem wrapping. Pls reply.
In the video we're using 20 or 22 gauge wire. The pliers we are using are designed for wire up to 18 gauge. Thanks for watching!
what size wire was that???
I think it's 26 gauge wire, specifically this: www.beadaholique.com/artistic-wire-antique-brass-color-copper-craft-wire-26-gauge-30-yards.html You can use these wire looping pliers on wire up to 18 gauge
Omg i just knew...
Grapes and Flowers come in 'bunches' not beads! Nice tool though. ;-)
