Simply move the pliers one or two more times around, and you will have a complete circle. Then use these pliers to gently yet securely grip your loop in one of your hands, while you use your other hand and some chain nose pliers to wrap the end of your wire around the base of the loop. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecause these sturdy pliers do the actual pressing on the wire, you can loop tough memory wire with a couple of firm squeezes. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith just a little practice, you will quickly master the use of these fantastic pliers, and I know you will love them. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOTE: Suitable for wire gauges up to 18 Gauge.

Best results are obtained when the two wires are positioned on either side of the center dimple. The resulting crimped bead now has a valley or dimple in the middle. In Step 2, the final shaping is carried out in the rounding station (F), where the bead is, in essence, folded over itself and compacted, making it smaller and causing it to grip the wire or cord very tightly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eurotool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39871519195236,"sku":"XTL-5200","price":14.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0153\/9276\/8100\/products\/xtl-5200a__1.jpg?v=1743018398"},{"product_id":"beadalon-end-cap-beads-for-memory-wire-round-glue-in-3mm-gold-plated","title":"Beadalon End Cap Beads for Memory Wire, Round Glue In 3mm Gold Plated (12 Pieces)","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeadalon Memory Wire End Caps \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold Plated Brass, Nickel Free plating. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHole on one end fits most memory wire. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimply insert a small amount of glue into hole, affix ball to end of memory wire, and you have a neat, finished end.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou may want to add glue to the last few beads of your project, for a secure hold. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor extra security, use sandpaper on end of memory wire to create a rough surface for the glue to adhere to. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound ends are 3mm in diameter. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack of 12 Memory Wire End Caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Beadalon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39871539839076,"sku":"FCR-1248","price":4.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0153\/9276\/8100\/products\/fcr-1248__1.jpg?v=1742413599"},{"product_id":"wubbers-classic-series-chain-nose-quality-jewellers-pliers","title":"Wubbers Classic Series Chain Nose Quality Jeweller's Pliers","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Wubbers Classic Series, these unique pliers are comfortable and versatile.
