Merry Christmas

I am looking for a wire bender that will bend a 360 in the wire, say up to 14 gage.


Thank you all.

Curt

Here are a variety of wire benders.

For a lot of light duty wire bending, the inexpensive jig and pin works pretty well.

If you are going to be doing a lot of wire bending, then the use of the heavier duty bender with the long bending arm works very well.

Be safe

I do this all the time for making rings for ringing hooks. I use drill mandrels and a drill press for turning multiple rings at a time. It comes out looking like a coil spring. The ID of the rings are determined by the diameter of the drill mandrel. What are you making?

If you do your search using the word "wire former" you'll have a large variety of options.

I would like to build my own umbrella rigs.

Thanks

Curt

wire looping pliers

Round-nose pliers will work well for this. I use them to make Alabama rigs & spinners and for a variety of other things that require bending and forming wire. You can buy them online or at any good hobby store.

Some videos on using various tools for making rigs:
