Wyatt White invented these patent-pending wire banding pliers to make it easy to create the double right-angle bends that are necessary for precision wire wrapping.
The double right-angle bend can be made in either half-round or square wire to fit around the bundle of corresponding square wires. This is important because it makes the first "binding" wrap very tight and secure.
The wire banding pliers create a double-right angle bend for you, so it's quicker and easier to create professional-looking wire wrapping and stone setting. You can use this technique to make rings, pendants, and other focal elements.
Be sure to use the proper banding pliers for your wire. The numbers on the ends of the tools refer to the gauges that the pliers can bend effectively. Pliers #201A-289 is sized for 20-21 gauge wires. Pliers #201A-290 is sized for 22-24 gauge wires.
