The Beadsmith One Step Looper – Create and Trim Consistent 3 mm Loops for Jewelry, Use with 18-26g Craft Wire

This is an amazing tool. It makes perfect little loops on the end of wire. I use it to make insects using buttons and wire. It’ll take a few times of practicing before you get the perfect little loops. Hang in there. This thing works very well.

A perfect tool for making chain links.

This makes it much easier It will take some practice but it is a good buy the loop is a good size for most things

Overall this is a good tool to use for making wire loops. It's got a solid feel and manipulates the wire easily making that part of my work a lot faster and more consistent. For that it would earn five stars, however there are two potential drawbacks:First, the arms of the pliers are set very wide apart when open so a person who has smaller than average hands, or issues with grip, may find the tool more difficult to use. I have average size hands for a woman (~8" hand span, thumb to pinkie) and while I can handle the pliers easily I have to stretch my fingers and thumb completely to grasp it while fully open.Second, the tool is designed specifically for right handed use. If you try to use it with your left hand, the front of the pliers will be facing the wrong way. It is not designed to be visible from either direction the way most pliers are. Someone with a very dominant left hand may find it more challenging to use the pliers in the right while holding the wire with the left instead. Being a lefty myself I do sometimes experience awkwardness in using them that makes me miss the mark on where I wanted the loop to be. It's not awful if I'm making eye pins, but annoying when I'm trying to make a loop beside a bead without leaving either too much or not enough space. However, using something that isn't universally designed is a pretty common experience for left handed people, so this isn't anything new. Practice helps.Both of these elements are ultimately the result of the way the pliers are designed. To change them, the entire thing would need to be rebuilt. At the same time, I wouldn't necessarily call them deal breakers. The pliers are sturdy, and they do the job they're designed to do well. However, these two elements may or may not create obstacles for users, and I wanted to point them out.

Works great

Bought these for my gf for her jewelry business.She said it makes her life so much easier and takes a fraction of the time she was doing it by hand. They are very well made and fit good in your hand. They were a little pricey but with as happy as she was to get them, it was worth it.

Love the easy way it works and efficiency.Makes my loops more attractive.

It works great. A must for newly making.
