Perfect in every way! Why don't we make them here in the US?

I love this product except where it is made! As artists and crafters, they make wire work easy! It is sold outside of New Jersey so it arrived in less than 24 hours. But made in China. I can only wish and hope that the seller will consider using recycled plastic in manufacturing and open a small manufacturing facility to bring jobs to their area. I almost didn't buy them because of the place of production, but I haven't found anyone making it here. Am I wrong when I say that if they cost a…

Pros
  • HANDLE: The interchangeable handle makes it easy to change heads. Four plastic rods are securely fastened inside the handle.
Cons
  • Doubtful

Waste of money

As others have said, the concept is great, but it's so cheaply made it's useless to me anyway. The largest wire thickness that can be bent to the corners in the illustrations is 22 g. There are no holes or other means to prevent the end of the wire from slipping when trying to pull the wire taut. The plastic is thin and flexible and slippery allowing the wire to slide. The "handle" is ridiculously small and made of flimsy plastic. It's too small to grip to get the leverage I need and too flimsy

Pros
  • INSTRUCTIONS: See the back of the box for instructions on how to use the mandrels. Ideal for beginners!
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Great article for wireworms! CREATE

I paid less than $7 for this item and it has revolutionized my cable work - seriously. The components are plastic, but I've used up to 16 gauge copper wire with no problems. This allows one person to make suitable earring base molds in minutes, a task that used to take a long time, especially since I'm such a perfectionist. Each mandrel is designed in such a way that the lower part can be divided into four mandrels. I wish this piece had a flat bottom, but that's just my personal preference…

Pros
  • : Use the mandrel to create jump rings, buttons, pendants, earrings and other uniquely shaped jewelry. Create decorative furnishings and decorations for scrapbooking!
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
