How to Use the Wubbers® Oval Mandrel Pliers

Insert a length of wire inside the jaw of the large Wubbers® oval mandrel plier then close. Rotate the pliers to wrap the wire half-way around the jaw, creating a half-oval.

Pull the pliers out from the half-oval. Rotate the pliers, back to starting position, then insert the jaw inside the half-oval and rotate again.

Repeat to create as many jumprings as desired.

Remove the wire from the jaw of the pliers.

Tip: Working from the coil prevents wasted wire and allows for no measuring!

Firmly press the coil rings together then cut through all of the wire coils, separating the jumprings.

Small Oval Jumprings

Insert a length of wire inside the jaw of the small Wubbers oval mandrel plier then close. Rotate the pliers to wrap the wire half-way around the jaw, creating a half-oval.

Pull the pliers out from the half-oval. Rotate the pliers then insert the jaw inside the half-oval and rotate again.

Repeat to create as many jumprings as desired, leaving a small space between each jumpring.

Remove the wire from the jaw of the pliers.

Set the one side of the last jumpring on the coil inside a pair of flush-cutters then trim the excess wire. Flip the flush-cutters, set the end of the coil inside the "V" then trim.

Repeat to trim each jumpring from the coil.

Using a pair of chain-nose pliers or flat-nose pliers, form the perfect jumpring shape.
