Bracelet Bender Tool Kit for Shaping Open Cuffs
Shape Flat Blanks into Open Cuff Bracelets
Turn aluminum practice strips into hand-shaped cuffs with this bracelet bender tool kit. A stainless steel forming bar creates the main curve, while nylon jaw pliers help you refine the shape with less direct metal contact.
The five piece metal bracelet making kit includes three aluminum blanks in different widths, giving beginners and small-batch makers a practical way to explore narrow and wider cuff designs. Stamping and engraving require your own separate tools.
Blank Width and Material Selection Guide
Each supplied blank is approximately 150 mm (5.91 in) long. Choose the 6 mm (0.24 in) width for a narrow cuff, 10 mm (0.39 in) for a medium-width design or 16 mm (0.63 in) for a wider design. Blank length is not a guaranteed finished wrist size; check the curve and opening as you shape.
Start with the included aluminum blanks. Suitable soft copper and brass may also be shaped, but compatibility depends on thickness and hardness. No maximum material thickness is specified.

Pro Tips
- Practice with a supplied aluminum blank before using other materials.
- Plan any stamped or engraved design before forming the cuff, using your own compatible tools.
- Bend gradually around the forming bar rather than forcing the blank in one motion.
- Keep the nylon jaws and blank surfaces clean, and use light controlled pressure for adjustments.
- Check symmetry and the cuff opening regularly; avoid repeated forceful bending in the same spot.
FAQ
What does the bracelet bender tool kit include?
One stainless steel forming bar, one pair of nylon jaw pliers and three aluminum practice blanks in different widths.
What sizes are the included bracelet blanks?
Each is approximately 150 mm (5.91 in) long. Widths are 6 mm (0.24 in), 10 mm (0.39 in) and 16 mm (0.63 in).
Can I use the tools with copper or brass?
Suitable soft copper and brass blanks may be used. Check thickness and hardness first, because a maximum capacity is not specified. Start with the supplied aluminum strips.
Will the nylon jaws prevent every scratch?
No. Nylon jaws help reduce direct metal contact, but surface marks can still occur depending on cleanliness, pressure, finish and technique.
Are stamping tools or a roller bender included?
No. Letter stamps, engraving tools, hammers, bench blocks and the separate roller bender shown in some project images are not included. Finished cuffs and workshop props illustrate possible projects.
