Manufacturing Jewelry Tool Review: 4.8V Automatic Wire Twister
One of my friends in high school played the harp, and you would not expect that (I'm not sure when I challenged him to a fight thumb), but playing the harp gives very strong fingers! Harpers starting to practice a number of precision chains and strong enough to get the volume and tone right. Well, to me, not being a harpist, I have weak fingers, and they just do not like twisted wire. I'm wrestling contest the thumb, but fortunately for me, I found this great twister automatic wire in the office today, so I thought I'd share my thoughts about it with you!
I am very excited to share my review of our automatic wire twister, one of many tools jewelry we have been doing. We have both the small (3.6) and large (4.8V) versions in our office. The small version easily turns 200rpm, but the large version, can reach up to 400rpm. Both cable twisters come with rechargeable batteries and have an average recharge time of 4-6 hours. Although the small great works, I have to say I think I like the bigger the better!
The small wire twister fits easily in your hand, is light enough for a machine that is equivalent to drill My husband's power, and may even turn to the half, allowing it to operate in two ways (see below).

However, I prefer the clutches of more power drill for my jewelry making. Fits perfectly in your hand and has good holding grip texture. Here's a picture of the largest strawberry:
This drill has a battery larger for longer battery life and more power (twice as the revolutionary energy of 3.6 V), so the actual drilling has a more traditional "Drill" silhouette. The barrel of the larger battery on the bottom lets me rest the drill on the desktop when they stop working, and stay loose the tornado smaller wire has a clever rotating handle, but I roll to one side when you put on the table. Thus, if I'm working on a delicate piece with my fingers, I know exactly where my twister is when I need it again, I do not even have to take his eyes off my work. You can even leave the tornado stay at the table if he maintains his steady hand on it, and pass the cable directly to the bit.
The great 4.8V drill works by pressing the on / off switch with your index finger, regardless of which hand is the dominant hand. This is easier for me than the smaller drill, which works by pressing the switch with your thumb (or, if you are left handed, it could be with the index finger). I think the exercise is pretty easy to use, and I really like the way it feels in your hand!
One last feature of the large wire twister 4.8V I noticed when he picked it up for first use: as a tool of power of my husband, the wire has become A key to change the bit. This key is stored in an add in the compartment at the base of the battery, so it is always at hand and never lose it! This is useful if you have accumulated several threads twister heads and likes to switch between them, or if you have other jewelry making drill bits used to make holes in leaves metal, boring accounts, and even unscrew the screws around the house! By contrast, the smaller self-blocks tornado, so do not even need a key.
Both tornadoes operating cable back and forth, so you can twist your wire as you like. Both cables are completely tongue twisters with batteries so you do not have to worry about tripping over wires while working on your jewelry, or wasting time looking for a free outlet. Both also come with cables tornadoes A / C charger, so when you're through with the twister, just let it by night, and ready to go in the morning.
One of my favorite things to do wire with a tornado is to take a square piece of wire and wrap it with a ring or a bracelet. As simple as it sounds, I love the effect just a piece of twisted wire can be added. I also like to wire rosettes turned and add accounts to make elegant necklaces. What are some of his favorite projects torsion wire?
Well, that's all the scoop I have in our power twister machine. As for our jewelry making tools, I've got my eyes on a new set tools we are making together in the next revision, I've heard it's a nice case, a whole set of good tweezers, and a ruler. I love being able measure my pieces as I go, so I love that a ruler can come with your computer. As soon as the end of the set, I'll let you know all about it!
