I didn't know if it would work that well - but it has really sped up making chains and findings for my crafting. It took a couple pieces of wire to really figure it out - but that was almost a null cost - now the TIME it saves is worth it. Note - each color looper makes different size loops.
It's OK. Still spend a good bit of time manipulating wire to get good loop with closure. Unless you can have loops overlap wire a tiny bit your loop will pull open with little pressure.
Needs tighter loop closure.
Fantastic, it works just as advertised. I only wish they had invented these years ago. I don't make as much jewelry these days as I used to, but I still appreciate having good tools, and every jewelry maker should have one of these, probably in both sizes. I got the 2.25mm loop size, I think this one will be the most useful. Get one, you won't regret it.
AMAZING TOOL!! If you are or have considered this tool, I urge you to purchase it. VERY helpful in necklace an earring creations. Loops are clean and perfectly sized. Much faster and more productive than trying to make those loops with round nose pliers. This is a fantastic little gem for jewelry crafting and you cannot beat the price on AMAZON. These run $35.00+ in hobby stores. Very easy to use.
I love this tool and own two different sizes. Works great.
Be careful when using crystals not to get the tool too close to the bead or it may chip the bead.

Description
This innovative tool is an amazing time-saver. Simply place a bead onto a head pin, slide the head pin into the pliers, and squeeze to create a wire loop. When making multiples, your loops will be uniform in size and shape. Trim and loop embellished head pins & eyes! Create & trim eye pins to custom lengths in one motion! This version of the 1-Step Looper is specially designed to create 2.25mm loops. Works with dead-soft or half-hard precious metal wire, craft wire and copper or brass core wire. Bends & trims wire between 24-18 gauge thick.
Tried the looper and love it. I have watched it so many times on tv and wanted one. Thought they were extremely expensive, but the price has come down considerably. May HAVE to get the 3mm later.
Love this size of Looper. I always felt the 3mm was just a little big for my use and when I saw this I had to order it. Yup! It is the perfect size for my use. Very happy with it.
I love to use this thing! You have to use the tool to make the loop and then, before releasing it, bend the wire a little yourself, but it makes such nice professional looking loops. Easy to use for a beginner.
These help me tremendously. I have arthritis and I'm a beginner at looping my own wire. This makes it easy although it does have a wide grip and you need to practice a few times.
This is the easiest and nicest tool I have found for nicely finishing eye pins or head pins into a clean, professional loop. Well worth the money! Easy to use and the results are perfect. I in fact bought 3 different ones that make different size loops I was so impressed with how this first one worked!
