Got a bucket list of useful tools to get? Sure you do! I have one too. The nifty wire banding pliers is now on it. This set of pliers is designed to double over a half round wire in just the right dimension to fit a group of square wires.

| Wire Banding Pliers |
Anyone making wire bezels will recognize the half round wire bands placed at strategic places around the cabochon is sometimes really tricky to get started right. The bottom of the U shaped bend has to fit snugly against the square wire bundles. I use the very tip of my chain nose pliers to make that first bend. It's not really a square bend because my chain nose plier tips aren't square. So sometimes the first wrap is not as snug as I like.
So I was intrigued to see
Wyatt White's video tutorial of how to wire wrap a cabochon using fancy square wire. He shows how he uses a wire banding pliers to make that square bend properly and fit whatever gauge the square wire bundle is. This tool just makes banding so much easier and faster.
I have no association with Beadaholique except as an occasional customer. I do however appreciate any tool which removes wire working frustration!
