The Beadsmith Original One Step Looper – Create and Trim Consistent 3 mm Loops for Jewelry Making, Use With 24-18g Craft Wire (Patented)

I love this tool. Its so much easier to make loops for earrings. So easy to use. Sorry no pics

I've been putting off buying one of these for so long, and it would have saved me so much time, and calluses, and soreness!! I made the switch to stainless steel eyepins forever ago because anything brass, coated, tarnish resistant won't last more than a week without turning green! But between the heavy duty stainless steel cutters and the 21 gauge pins it was a pain to do rosary style bracelets/necklaces and I sort of just gave up on them for a while, and finally decided to see if I could use this tool to make it simpler and boy does it! I can see how some might get frustrated with this because sometimes it randomly won't cut through the tail end before the curl, but it's well worth it to have to cut the end myself every now and then to get such perfectly consistent loops! It looks so clean and professional, and cuts the pin perfectly straight. I'm able to get right on the bead, both glass and pearl without marring or breaking them, and the loop is perfectly shaped so that once you hook it onto your work or jump ring you can crimp it straight down and it closes in a perfect circle. Super impressed, hope it holds up over time with the stainless but I'd gladly buy again because these loops are more perfect than I could ever get them in the 3 minutes it takes to finish one bead.

Works amazing when I am making my earrings! No longer need to do it so manually

Great quality, there are several different sizes of loopers in case someone is in need of making smaller or larger

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.
