Wire Rounder
This cup bur is perfect for rounding wire ends. After the ends of wire are cut with a pair of side cutters, the edges are often sharp and can cause snagging. If you are making ear wires in particular, you'll need to smooth the ends of the wire, especially the end that will pass through the ear. This tool will do that. It has teeth like a file inside the cup. Simply place the cup over the end of the wire and twist or rotate the handle back and forth to file and smooth the ends of the wire. This works best for wire up to 20 gauge.

Pros: Size, Price
Cons: Ease of Use, doesn't seem to work properly
"As Violet wrote It seemed like a great tool. However, after using it, the wire seemed not that much rounder then before...
I will try again on my next silver wire project though."

Not seeing results I hoped for
Date:March 9, 2011
Pros: Size, Unique
Cons: Price, Ease of Use, Quality
Creation: Used to make earring loops
"It seems like a great tool; either I am not using it properly or something, but I do not see the "roundness" that I hoped for. I have used it on wire gauge 24-20, and not so thrilled.
I will have to keep trying to see if I get better results."

Pros: Price, Quality, Size, Versatile, Ease of Use
"I recently made several pairs of wrapped bead studs and spent too much time with a basic file getting the ends smooth. Then I found this handy little tool."

Nice tool
Date:August 18, 2009
Pros: Price, Quality, Size, Versatile, Ease of Use
"This is a very handy tool for smoothing off the rough edges of wire. However, I've found that if I'm making earwires with 20g wire, I still need to use a file. But this tool starts the job nicely, getting off most of the sharp edges; then I finish up with a small file."
