Beadthoven Split Ring Opening Pliers: The Perfect Jewelry Making Tool in Gunmetal Color - 140mm Length Review

I bought this to fit small split rings about 10mm in diameter. I found it easier to do by hand than with a tool. The tip of the pliers is too large and imprecise to use on a 10mm split ring. Even with large keychain-sized split rings, this doesn't work so well. The surface of the pliers is too rough to easily open the ring. I will probably return.

I used some cheap split ring pliers that came free with a pack of 50 rings and they were fine I thought. Then I stumbled across them and decided to give it a try. The free ones were much better. No ring detection and almost no control. Okay maybe that's 5 stars compared to using a nail but. No, I take it back. It's much faster with my nails.

I love using split rings for a variety of tasks and I saw this and wondered if it would work on all sizes. The answer is yes and great. I've always wondered why there wasn't a tool to accomplish the task of opening and holding an open ring to load with keys. This one does the job perfectly and I've used it with split rings from 3/8" to 1 1/2" and it works great. I highly recommend it if you work with split rings.
