Nance Pliers 12.5 cm
Product Code: N21150382
One Instrument, Four Loop Diameters, Zero Guesswork 
Switching pliers every time a loop needs a different radius slows you down and invites inconsistency. The Nance Pliers 12.5 cm solve that with four precision-machined forming steps in one compact instrument, giving you a repeatable, accurate diameter for every loop, bend or custom wire configuration you build.
The smooth, rounded working edges are designed to protect the wire as you form it, so the result looks as clean as it performs.
Four Steps, One Consistent Standard
Manufactured from premium stainless steel, the Nance Pliers feature four precision-machined cylindrical steps with graduated diameters of 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm, allowing controlled and repeatable wire forming. The compact 12.5 cm design offers excellent balance and enhanced maneuverability, while the riveted joint keeps the working ends precisely aligned, cycle after cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose which of the four steps to use for a given loop?
Match the step diameter to the loop radius you need: 3 mm for the tightest loops, up to 6 mm for wider ones. Having all four graduated diameters in one instrument means you don’t need separate pliers for each loop size.
What is the maximum wire size it can safely form?
It is designed to accommodate round orthodontic wires up to 0.028 in (0.71 mm). Working with wire heavier than this specification is not recommended, since it can affect forming accuracy and instrument longevity.
Does the riveted joint hold up as well as a box joint over time?
The riveted joint is built for durable, aligned performance across repeated forming cycles and autoclave sterilization. As with any joint type, consistent care and proper sterilization protocols help it hold its precision over the long term.
Will it mark or weaken the wire while I form the loop?
The smooth, rounded edges on each working step are designed to preserve wire surface integrity and minimize unwanted marks or deformation during bending, rather than just leave a clean forming step.
Is this a specialty tool, or does it belong in a general orthodontic tray?
If you form loops or custom wire configurations with any regularity, the four graduated diameters make it a versatile, everyday instrument rather than a single-purpose specialty tool.
