Review on πŸ”§ The Beadsmith Mandrel 4X: Wire Wrapping Set with 4 Shapes - Oval, Square, Round, and Triangle - Plus Interchangeable Handle: Metal Jewelry Forming and Shaping Tool by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

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 to hold in a vise.

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
