Review on πŸ”§ Crafting Delight: Baby Wubbers Bent Nose Jewelry Making Pliers for Precise Detailing by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice design but not durable.

My boyfriend and I are in the jewelry business together and use hook pliers every day. We ordered 4 pairs after reading positive reviews and initially they were fantastic! Very smooth, easy to use and doesn't tire your hands at all. We've had them for about 6 weeks now and only 1 pair is still usable. Two of the tension springs have snapped, and the third pair is at risk of breaking. The fourth pair appears to be finished differently as the green foam padding is at least 5mm thicker than the other pairs and the mainspring shows no signs of wear - yet. Too bad they aren't more durable, otherwise they would be my favorite tongs! The Wubber website claims a lifetime warranty on all tools. I messaged them to see if I could replace 3 broken pairs. However, when the new pairs are as weak as these, it may not be worth the time or energy. *Update* - A year later I still use them daily. I have a few broken ones that are growing but I still can't find a curved nose tool that I like better.

Pros
  • Bead and Jewelry Making
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model
