  • Great Results, easy to use
Size: 1.5 mm Looper
The Beadsmith Original One Step Looper is a fantastic time-saver for jewelry making. It creates clean, consistent 1.5 mm loops and trims the wire in one smooth motion, which really speeds up repetitive tasks. The tool feels sturdy and well-made, and it’s easy to use once you get the hang of it. It works best with softer wires, but the precision and convenience it offers make it a great addition to any crafter’s toolkit. ... show more

  • Great tool to have
Size: 1.5 mm Looper
This is a great product, it buts the loop against the bead, I may sometimes have to close the loop completely but that don't bother me, this saves my hands and my jewelry looks more professional. I like the material and weight. Over all in so far it's a great tool to have and my projects are done a lot faster. ... show more

  • Fast loops
Size: 1.5 mm Looper
This works very well to create small loops. The learning curve is short, but I recommend looking at the Beadsmith website for the video tutorial. There are instructions on the back of the packaging, but they are confusing as they actually show two different things: the first pictures show simply creating a loop and then additional pictures show how you can trim a longer piece of wire as you are looping. That was clear as mud as I thought originally it was all one process and made no sense. The loops are very small -- 1.5mm. The picture on the packaging makes them look huge. If you want the loop close to the bead, practice a bit with some scrap wire. Notice it specifically says to use with “dead-soft or half-hard precious metal wire, craft wire and copper or brass core wire . . . between twenty-six to eighteen gauges. Only the slightest hand strength is required. The tool does the work. It can be a great relief for people who have problems with repetitive wrist motions who would have trouble making numerous loops using pliers. Beadsmith also makes another “BIG” looper that makes larger loops (3mm), if that’s what you need. That works with 24 to 18 gauge. Update: I just finished making a necklace where I had to make many, many loops. I have to say this tool wore me out. The two handles are so far apart that the initial grasp got to be so much of an effort that I had to use two hands. Once I started to squeeze, I could take the other hand off. Seriously, it got so tiresome trying to wrap my hand onto the two handles, my hand started to hurt. It's not noticeable when I only do a few loops, but sustained use was not fun. By the way, I have average-size hands, not particularly small. The other problem I encountered was that you have to feed extra wire into the tool with each loop for it to cut off. If not, it can't grap the wire securely enough to loop. If I tried to just get it to the end instead of the extra overlap, it wouldn't form the circle. That means with every loop, I lost a bit of wire. It was a bit tense; I finished my necklace with about 3 inches of wire left on the spool, and lots of little pieces all over the place that I had to clean up. So overall, still a good product and easier than hand-looping (if that is the correct term), but keep in mind you will need extra wire and it's best to try not to make a lot of loops at one time. ... show more

  • Work very well, great sizes
Size: Combo Pack - 1.5 mm, 2.25 mm, & 3 mm
These are great for making open loops with thicker wire (20g) or head pins. I prefer to make wrapped loops for finer gauge wire, but these are a game changer for open loops. There’s a bit of a learning curve to get the loop snug against a bead, but after a little practice it becomes very easy. This really speeds up the process of making links and I’m really happy I got all three sizes. I’ve used them all at some point. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Great tool for beading!
Size: 2.25 mm Looper
I enjoy using this one step looper. I do believe there's a bit of a learning curve, but so far I'm pleased. This is great for when you need to make a lot of loops in one project that are consistent in size, but I do find myself having to make some adjustments if the loop doesn't close perfectly. However, this might be a "me" problem, as I'm newer to beading crafts, so I will continue to use this tool. I've found it's best to take my time with it. ... show more

  • Perfect little loop maker!
Size: 1.5 mm Looper
I love this tool! It is well worth the price tag. It makes a loop out of your wire and snips the excess perfectly every time. Sturdy mechanism seems very well made has nice grips and is very easy to use. Clear instructions showing how to operate. Really great tool
