The Beadsmith 1-Step Looper, 1.5 Millimeter, 26-18 Gauge Craft Wire, Create Consistent Loops for Rosaries, Earrings, Bracelets, Necklaces and Wire Jewelry in 1 Step

Okay, these are fantastic! I adore them! Once you get the hang of it, they make making uniformly sized loops for jewelry (mostly earring) a breeze. I have the "1-" in all three sizes. They're all called "Step Looper," and they all have the same major flaw. The gap between the two grips is so large that I have to choke up almost to the top spring to close them. It leads to me dropping them, losing track of the wire I'm looping, and a tired hand from trying to keep the looper from sliding all the way to the top. Someone with normal-sized hands will have a problem gripping/squeezing them, and someone with small hands may be unable to grip/squeeze them at all. A simple re-evaluation appears to be all that is required. This issue could be solved through design. To bring the grips closer together, simply bend the handles inward.

  I bought the Beadsmith One Step Looper because I have a lot of trouble making even, uniform loops. The One Step Looper has been extremely beneficial! I'm able to produce eye pins at a much faster rate now, and they're all the same loop size. br>br>Slight adjustments to the loops are required from time to time, but the process is still much faster and the loops are much nicer. I don't mind if I have to make a few minor adjustments here and there. br>br>I think the handles are a little "big," which is why I only gave it a four-star rating. That's something I talk about in the video, but it wasn't enough to put me off using this tool. In fact, I'm going to order the other two sizes. This is a must-have tool for anyone who has trouble getting even, same-size loops on their eye pins. Without it, I'd be totally lost.

br>The instructions on how to use it on the box are sufficient to get a feel for it and get started. It's a simple tool to use. br>Because the 3mm produced larger hoops than expected, I purchased the 1,5mm as well. It's not a waste to have both, but if you only need one, go with the 1,5mm because most jewelry pins already come with hoops. It will create a uniform appearance.

It's perfect for my requirements. I make vintage-inspired jewelry, and attaching the loops to each bead was not only time-consuming, but it could also jeopardize the final piece's appearance, given that I'm not very good at it. In less than 5 minutes, I was able to create an entire strand of pearls using this tool! I give it five stars just for that. Let's see if it can withstand the test of time. So far, everything has gone well, but I only got it yesterday.

I avoided loops at all costs, especially when attempting to match loops on pre-existing loops. made eye- I used to use pins until I found these. I started with the number one. I was going to get the 5mm, but the loops were too small to match, so I went with the 2. With a little tinkering, it can be as small as 25mm (with round-corners). nose, flat-footed They're almost perfect (it takes practice and perseverance, but it's well worth it).

My close acquaintance I work on jewelry with a friend and we were making loops by hand, which was a time-consuming process. After doing some research, I came across the 1- big looper takes a step I was a little skeptical about how well it would work, but I was pleasantly surprised at how simple it is to use! It's a time saver with just a little 'final tweaking' to close the loop completely. It always makes consistent loops, so it was worth the $20 I paid for it. There was a small amount of learning that took place. Because it opens so wide, there's a learning curve on how to hold it comfortably (my hands don't have quite as wide a grip as these when fully extended).

I've bought several of these in various sizes and especially like the new medium loop size, which produces a nice, consistent loop with no wasted wire once you get the hang of the movement. So why three stars? The spring on each of the seven pairs of pliers I've bought in the last year has snapped within the first month of use on each of them. It would be fantastic if they sold replacement springs, but even if they did, there does not appear to be an easy way to install one. With prices ranging from $20 to $50 on average, these are a great way to save money. I'd like to get more than a month's worth of use out of them for $25.

I used to have a looper tool that was a lot more difficult to use. I was curious when I saw this last week in the "suggestions" that we always get while shopping here, so I decided to try it. br>br>First, I tried four different eye pins in this project, each with a different weight. It is a place where they are all employed. It makes a perfect circle, it's the simplest tool I've used in a long time to operate, and it appears to be well made. And it's become my go-to tool because it's cut the time it takes me to make each pair of earrings in half. To put it another way, if I make 15 pairs of earrings today, I can do so in nearly half an hour less time, which makes this tool well worth the money in my opinion. br>br>I've also used it to make bracelets when I needed loops but didn't want to use an o-ring. It will not work if you use a ring or a split ring. br>br>As always, if I run into trouble with this in the future, I'll update this post.
