🔧 Xuron 489 Combination Tip Pliers: Versatile and Precision Performance Review

These are fantastic pliers for forming loops on one side and for regular chain nose operations on the other. Very happy with them!

Excellent for making very tight loops without deforming them. Super handy tool for wire wrapping stones and jewelry. Comfortable to hold and good quality.

I have other round nose pliers but I like these. I can get to smaller spots and make smaller loops if I wire them up. Love-Love-Love is round on one side and flat on the other. So glad I have them!

They have the thinnest tip on the round tip! (Be careful! I caught my finger taking it out of the box.) You will make the smallest loops. Very impressed with the quality of these Xuron American instruments.

The round side of the pliers is very thin at the end, which is good, but the half round is square again, so you can only make very small rounds or loops, and you need to be careful not over half go out or your metal will square or dent.

The tips are fine the way they look. I bought these because my pliers are much rougher and heavier. I'm still getting used to it and realizing I need to use it for thinner beading wire projects; not only to make thinner loops, but also because heavier wire requires a thicker hinge.

There are many tools and toys for jewelers, but the best tools are the ones that feel good and work perfectly.

I wish I had found them about 20 pliers ago - my desk would have been a lot tidier (I just can't throw away a tool that isn't broken). Now I'll keep an eye out for Xuron Tools.

I do jewelry making, wire wrapping and wire braiding and these pliers are fantastic! The Jeweler's Best Friend! They're not a necessity for a jeweler's toolbox, but I highly recommend them because they're great jewelry making pliers and because they're made in the USA! I have bought hook nose pliers, long jaw pliers and combination pliers and will be buying more! I will never buy another brand again. And the price is very reasonable and affordable! If you make jewelry, Xuron is the brand for…

When I saw them at the Xuron booth at the National Train Show, they intrigued me. small round tip versus wide flat tip. The stand representative said she wasn't exactly sure what they were for. So I ordered a few to play around with the electronics and build the HO model. I've found them to be the ideal solution for bending small diameter plastic parts without cracking or warping. The problem with using two round tips is that they put high pressure on the soft plastic at two points, causing…
