The Beadsmith Original One Step Looper – Create and Trim Consistent 1.5 mm Loops for Jewelry Making, Use With 24-18g Craft Wire (Patented)

These things are the best. They make making a loop so easy and they come out perfect every time. Would definitely recommend and I am definitely going to order another one of the next size.

I ADORE this one step looper tool. It has totally revolutionized how I create my jewelry. I was a little bit squeamish about paying $30 for this one tool, but it was totally worth it. I didn't want to buy it cheaper from one of the knockoff sites like Temu because I wanted the real tool. This tool is absolutely worth the $30 I spent on it. And it actually came with TWO tools in the same package, (one is yellow and 2,25mm and the other one is teal that is 3.0 mm. So that was even better. I just used it to finish a pair of Irish knot earrings I am making for a jewelry set and I was so impressed with how clean and perfect the loop was that I went back and redid the other earring (that I had done by hand) to match it. It is fast becoming one of my favorite tools in my arsenal of jewelry making tools. I would highly recommend this tool...especially if you are like me and have trouble making consistent earring loops by hand.

Durability is great still going strong. The cost is the same if you had stores near you sell it, so not over price. Making it easier to make my earrings for my business.

A really nice tool. Takes alot of stress off your wrist!

I purchased the The Beadsmith 1-Step Looper, 1.5 Millimeter because I always have trouble with my loops. They are always different sizes, not shaped just right, etc. Plus, it seemed like it took me forever to be happy with the loop, spending 10 minutes trying to perfect it was getting real old, not to mention the turning of your hand and wrist. Oh, and did I mention using two or three pairs of pliers to get one simple loop? I saw someone using these on the internet and I thought wow! But will they work? I couldn't believe how easily this made loops. It is fast and with a little practice you can get them perfect! You can get the loop closed if you move the wire a little before removing it from the pliers. They are a little hard to hold on to because the handles are a little too far apart, but you don't have to squeeze hard at all to get them to work. And they aren't heavy. This 1.5 size makes a really tiny loop, good for delicate projects or earrings, which the loop might be too small for my purposes. I also purchased the other 2 sizes. If you want fast and consistent loops try this! Update: I ended up returning these because of the way the handles were too far apart and the loop being so small.

Great tool, easy to use and worth the money.

I purchased this May 2018 and it is still working and still going strong and it is well used and loved!

Where has this tool been? I saw a Facebook ad for this 1-step looper and immediately went to Amazon for it. I don't trust most FB ads (probably a cheap Chinese rip-off). I found The Beadsmith brand, which I totally trust, and purchased the 1.5 mm looper. Oh, my gosh, this makes it SO much easier to make linked jewelry or to make a loop in a head pin for pendants or earrings. I literally just sat here in way less than an hour and made a pendant and earring set and two bracelets! I'll attach a picture. I had a very slight learning curve just figuring out how close to the bead I could place the tool. You can actually pretty much rest the bead on the edge of the tool, and it will be nice and tight. I've attached a few pictures to show how close you can get. After joining the linked components together, you just need to close the loop up, which doesn't take much. I may invest in the next larger size of the looper tool (2 mm, I believe) in the future, but this size is really sufficient for my needs so far. If you enjoy making your own jewelry, then this tool would be a great investment at only $30.00. You will save a LOT of your valuable time! Edit: I did end up buying the 2.25mm tool as well. This size is closer to the size of the loop on an eye pin you'd buy in the store just for a visual reference. I'm very happy with both tools!
