The hobbyworker Wire Bending Jig,Includes 30 Metal pegs for Jewelry Making Tools and Wire Wrapping Supplies

It was smaller than I expected, but my fault. I didn't read size. BUT, it turned out to be exactly what I needed!

I've not used it much but it's great when needed

This product is useful if you are just starting to learn to make wire wrapped jewelry. It is quite easy to use. However, it is a little difficult to keep the pegs in place while you are using them to bend the wire. The pieces themselves are very durable, but sometimes while you're bending the wire, it gets caught under the pegs and that gets a little frustrating. Overall, it helps when your just starting your journey into making home made jewelry. And the price is reasonable.

This is a great value little set. It comes with a page of instructions and examples of patterns.As others have mentioned, the pegs are a little wobbly if you don't use the little plastic sleeves to lock them in place.The reason for the wobble: The holes in the board are 3mm in diameter. The pegs are exactly 2.5mm.However... Rather than being a negative point, I see it as a huge positive.If you are even a little handy, you can get an M2.5 die (thread cutter) and some M2.5 nuts. As the the die is designed to cut threads in steel, the aluminum pegs are very light work, even without lubricant. Tighten the nut on the underside of the board and the wobbles are gone. It's also far sturdier than the plastic tubing. (Warranties may be voided)This also means if you need additional narrow pegs, 16mm or 20mm long M2.5 machine screws work perfectly as well. And you can use two additional nuts to lock the ends of the wire in place if that's needed (I find it useful). It took me under 15 minutes to thread all 30 pegs, and I never have to look at the plastic sleeves again.Great value, quite sturdy and absolutely perfect for what I need it for.

The pins are very loose when set into the base. The only thing securing them are the plastic tubes which are to long. The tubes are to long and should be rubber o-rings instead. The overall fixture works but it could be better if the pins fit more securely in place.

I wire wrap and wanted a decent jig to enhance my designs. This is a decent jig metal with metal pegs and little rubber stoppers for the back that helps keep the pegs where you put them. It's very sturdy.

I am very pleased with this wire jig. I’ve been trying to make a particular design freehand for a while and it never worked. Found a tutorial on YouTube using the wire jig, came out perfect the first time! I was so pleased that I made a second one, since the pegs were still in place.A couple of things about the tubes, be sure to use them. Some reviewers have complained that the pegs don’t stay in place. You need to use the tubes to hold the pegs in place and then hold them down while you bend the wire around it. Also, most of the tubes are too long so the grid does not lay flat on the table. Just cut them in half. They will still work and allow you to have the plate flat. Lastly, if you want a sharp bend, over bend your wire when going around the peg. Instead of stopping where you’d like the bend to be, bend it past that point and pull firmly. That way, it’ll retain its shape when you remove it.I am in love with my new toy and look forward to making many more projects!
