About This Ring Bending Tool
The Tooltos III Wooden Base Ring Bending Tool is a professional-grade manual ring former designed for jewelers, bench technicians and jewelry students who need consistent, accurate ring shapes without relying on electric machinery. Insert a nylon die pair, place your metal strip or wire between the dies, and turn the crank handle — the tool does the rest. The wooden base can be screwed directly to your workbench for hands-free stability, and the die organizer keeps all seven dies within reach at all times.

Pro Tips
- Anneal (soften) your metal before bending to reduce springback and get cleaner curves
- For gauges above 3mm, make two or three light passes rather than one heavy press
- Use the 60-degree die to form V-shaped prong settings and chevron-style bands
- Apply a small drop of machine oil to the crank pivot every 20-30 uses for smooth operation
- Store dies in the base organizer slots to prevent nylon surfaces from chipping
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this tool bend thick sterling silver wire?
A: Yes. For heavier gauges (above 3mm), anneal the metal first and use multiple light passes for best results.
Q: Is this tool electric or manual?
A: Fully manual. No power source is needed. The crank handle gives you complete control over bending speed and pressure.
Q: Can I use this for copper and brass?
A: Yes. The nylon dies are safe for all common jewelry metals including gold, silver, copper, brass and most alloys.
Q: Does the wooden base need to be mounted to the bench?
A: Mounting is optional but strongly recommended for heavy bending work. The pre-drilled screw holes make installation quick.
Q: What ring sizes can I make?
A: The included dies cover 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 20mm and 22mm inner diameters, plus 60-degree and 90-degree angle bends.
Q: Will the nylon dies scratch my metal?
A: No. Nylon is softer than most jewelry metals, so the dies form the metal without leaving tool marks.
