The listing, Brass Jump Ring Opener - makes opening, closing jump rings easier! has ended.
I offered one of these a while ago and there was a lot of interest, so I figured I'll part with another one.
I just "discovered" this nifty tool and *love* it.
Instead of trying to manipulate two pairs of pliers to open and close a jump ring, you simply put the tool in your finger like a ring; hold the jump ring with a pair of pliers and slip one half of a jump ring into the appropriate size slit. Then twist it open or closed.
There are plenty of youtube videos to show how to do this (search for jump ring tool).
Don't throw your second pair of pliers away ... there are times with the tool won't work. But I use it about 90% of the time and love it.
In order to get a good discount, I ended up having to buy 10 of them. I'm keeping most of them (I tend to lose things a lot!) but I figured I'd offer one here since there are so many jewelry makers on Lista.
I'll pay the postage.
Not that it matters with this item, but I have a smoke and pet-free home.
P.S. -- I hate GIN auctions since they just aren't as much fun as regular ones, so sorry .. I won't do a GIN and I won't shorten the length of the auction.
