We've been hunting for years for high quality pliers that don't cost the earth, and we have finally found them. These looping round/flat nose pliers are made in Asia and are a great alternative to our more expensive German made pliers.
Use these to make loops and round bends. These are the pliers we use for making the rounded loop wire on shepherds hooks. This type of plier are a favourite of Lucy Walker from the Metalsmith Academy.
These pliers are still very good quality and perfect if you're on a budget. I have been using these in the studio for the past eight years and they're still going strong. These well-made pliers will last for years.
