It arrived quickly even with the holidays which was surprising. Its so simple to use and so fast! It takes me roughly 1/3rd of the time it used to (I am new to jewelery making so I wasn't fast to begin with but this tool seriously was amazing especially for a newbee). Simple to use and easy to understand instructions. I lack strength in my wrists and hands and I wss concerned if I would be able to use this tool but I had no issues at all.

Do not expect this plier to make closed loops. The plier is a great idea that needs to be re-engineered. After you make a loop in your wire, you have an open loop which is often askew to being perpidicular to your wire. The loop then has to be closed and realigned horizontally and perpindicularly, taking as much time as it would to make a closed loop with chain and round nose pliers.

This tool works smoothly and very well. My only complaint is the amount of waste it creates. When I'm using sterling wire, I don't really want to have a tool chop off 1/2" of silver in the process! I'm experienced enough that I can use the tool without always putting the end of the wire through the guide hole opposite what will become the loop, so there is less waste. Yes, I save my scrap, but I'd rather not use up my wire faster than necessary. But if you have trouble making loops, this tool is indispensable. Just be sure to get the right size for your needs! There are three different tools that make three different sized loops. Personally, I like small loops, so I got the smallest one.

If you need consistent loops or have a design with a lot of loops, like a rosary, this is a must tool to have. Paid for itself the first day. Does take a little practice to get the hang of getting your second loop up close to the bead but there are plenty of YouTube videos available for training. Works with a variety of wire types and gauges. Do be careful not to use gauges over the recommended sizes. I quickly bought the next size up and will likely purchase the one for the third size.

Makes making loops so easy. This item makes the smaller loops so the larger Looper may be what you need. This is so easy to use. I can make eye pins and loop the end of a wire for a line of beads so much faster. After ju. st a few practice tries the process is a cinch It is worth the price and of good quality.
