The BeadSmith E-Z Bender Tool makes it easy to shape cuff bracelets from strips of sterling silver, copper, brass, aluminum and other soft metals. Use instead of a bracelet mandrel: this handy tool eliminates the need for mallets and hammering. Simply insert up to 14-gauge soft sheet metal into the slot and follow the easy instructions on the back of the package to form a smooth oval bracelet. Heavy gauges or stiffer metals may need to be annealed before bending into a bracelet shape.
