I just bought one and I agree with you. It doesn’t close the loop all the way but it’s still a great tool. Did a chain link in an hour which would have taken at least 2 hours.
I have watched several videos on how to use this tool & your video is the easiest to understand and the explanation right to the point. Appreciate additional options about wire. Thanks for an informative & professional presentation!
Thank you very much for a wonderful video on the looper. Very nice tool that saves effort and time. Loops are consistent. I use a pair of round nose pliers to finish Loops
You are very welcome! Thank you for letting me know you found the video helpful. Yes, finishing the loops with round nose pliers is a good technique. 🙂
I bought this tool, and I looked at video from bead smith and others but YOU were the only one who explained it and I got it now. I subscribed. You are awesome
You created a wonderful tutorial. This is the most clear one I've found on youtube. Thank you for explaining the process with great camera angles. Props!!! Very Best Regards!!!
wow thanks! I have so many beads and polymer clay jewelry not finished because I found I am horrible at making the loops! This will get me going on jewelry again!
It's definitely a helpful tool, especially when you have a LOT of loops to make. :-) But don't give up on making your own, as sometimes the tool won't do what you need. Keep practicing and they'll get better. Btw, have you watched my video on making simple loops? ruclips.net/video/D0RgdUaB54A/видео.html In it I break down the details, you may find it helpful.
I have the 2.25 pair coming. I have a hard time eyeballing the same spot on my round nose pliers. I am tempted to get a pair of multi step looping pliers as well.
So excited about this tool - I can't make a proper loop to save my soul! Bought one today and will be picking it up tomorrow! Thanks for the demonstration!
I just purchased this tool n I love it. I've made lots of bead charms to add to stash. Yes some have to have some small adjustments but no biggy. At least my loops r same size n so fast n no frustrations 🤓🤗 Tfs
I am new to making jewelry. Which size one step looper tool would you recomment for making earrings and for adding findings to a necklace? Oh ! I found the answer in other comments ! Thanks so much for making the video! I am excited about this tool.
@@SandyHuntress Thank you so much ! I just ordered one :) The only thing that kept me stalling to make jewelry was my frustration with making those loops. LOL
Hi, I Just Watched Your Tutorial & Enjoyed Your East Explanation! My Husband Ordered Me a Yellow One THATS I Think 2.25 I Wasn’t For Sure Which Sz. To Get, I Had Seen to Videos, One They Used Black & The Other Yellow. I Hope I Can Use the 2.25 With No Problems? Thank You For Sharing!
Hi Kathy, I’m glad you found the video helpful. 😀 You should be able to use the 2.25 mm looper just fine. It makes slightly larger loops than the one I showed, which is 1.5 mm. They also make one that makes 3 mm loops, called the big looper. I occasionally use that one, they are all incredibly useful and timesaving!
Is it strong enough for rosaries? My single loops come apart even though I make sure they are closed. Been making jewelry for years. Now I only do wrapped loops for rosaries.
If you need them to be totally secure, then, you're right, wrapped loops are the way to go. For simple loops to be secure, the wire should be at least 20 gauge. For a delicate chain, you might get away with 22 gauge, but make the loops smaller. But know that a good, strong yank will likely pull them apart.
It has more to do with the gauge of the wire. Actually do you want the wire end to close because you twist it sideways to add something, not pull it apart.
I just bought one and I agree with you. It doesn’t close the loop all the way but it’s still a great tool. Did a chain link in an hour which would have taken at least 2 hours.

Enjoy them, Mallori! I have the 1.5 and 3mm, but haven't really found uses for the middle size. I do love my multi-step looping pliers!
So excited about this tool - I can't make a proper loop to save my soul! Bought one today and will be picking it up tomorrow! Thanks for the
demonstration!
Oh yes, this one is a game changer for sure. :-) I love mine!
Excellent
Love this tool, thanks for sharing.
Glad you like it, Esther. The looper is one of my favorites!
Very nice tool. Thanks for sharing. 😊🌸
It’s one of my favorite tools! Happy creating, Debbie. 🙂

I would like to buy this one....Where can I get this.....?
@@ootyscoty would love to know what size you purchased if I can?

I still use this tool all the time! 🙂 Happy creating
@@SandyHuntress Thank you so much ! I just ordered one :) The only thing that kept me stalling to make jewelry was my frustration with making those loops. LOL
It’s still a good thing to practice and learn, as there are situations when you won’t be able to use the Looper. But it sure saves a lot of time!
@@SandyHuntress I agree. Thank you :)

It IS a handy tool!
Thank you for this review. I have this tool and appreciate any wxtra instructions. Wonderful video very helpful.
I'm sold, heading to Amazon!!!
You’ll love it, Dawn!
Olá, você vende este alicate?
Gostei muito, é bem prático e facilita muito, acho que aqui no meu país não vende este alicate.
I don't sell the pliers myself, Deborah, but bought them on Amazon. amzn.to/2zY6ngz
Vc achou?
Is it strong enough for rosaries?

which exactly is the looper you're using?
can you use memory wire?
That's a good question, Julia! Memory wire is hardened more than the craft wires we usually use, so it might damage the tool. I wouldn't recommend it.
This is a better visual of this tool.
Thank you for your nice comment, Louise! I'm not sure better than what, but thanks. :-D
can you purchase this in Australia ,specifically New South wales and how much in AD? please.thank you
Sorry, but I’m in the United States, and can’t answer that question for you. I’m sure an online search will help you find out for yourself.
Buen dia, donde puedo conseguir ese aparato gracias. Muy lindo
I got mine on Amazon: amzn.to/2zY6ngz
I found this in 3 different sizes; 1.5mm, 2.25mm & 3mm. I can only afford 1 and I'm a beginner. Which would you recommend?
For basic, all-purpose jewelry making I would recommend the 1.5mm. I bought the 3mm for a special project and it's the only time so far I've used it.
Thank you!
Hi... which size would you recommend to make strong rosaries with 6mm & 8mm beads?
For basic, all-purpose jewelry making I would recommend the 1.5mm.
Keepsake Crafts by Sandy Huntress what gauge wire would you recommend I am having trouble with my wire loops bending out of place
I missed the sites to go to and get the pages for the 2 tutorial. Did anyone get them? Thank you.
I am not quite sure what it is you are looking for, Betty?
👍👍
🙂
I watched this video .My wife makes needs jewelry .I want to know the name of this tool .plz
It's called the One Step Looper.
26 to 18 guage. Please explain the strength? Thank you
The gauge does not refer to the strength, but rather to the size. 18 gauge wire is 1mm in diameter, 26 gauge is much thinner, about 0.4mm in diameter.
Can mainage this Article
🧐
It does not close because when you are looping usually attaching something else.
It has more to do with the gauge of the wire. Actually do you want the wire end to close because you twist it sideways to add something, not pull it apart.
