    It's the old story: "You get what you pay for". Our original Jump
    Ringer, although initially more costly than the various knock-offs
    (Pepe's Jump Ring Maker, Dave Arens' Koil Kutter, etc.), proves to
    soon be more economical. 

    1. Blades will last longer because of the more sophisticated design
    of the blade arbor and of the blade itself. 

    2. One size blade will cut the full range of wire diameters. 

    3. Jump Ringers have 4 different size V grooves in the coil holder
    vs. only 1 in the copies. This translates into better securing of the
    coil while cutting. It also allows for the production of much larger
    diameter rings (up to finger sizes for finger and toe rings). 

    4. The copies can make and cut coils up to 3" (76mm) long because
    that's what ours did when they "invented" theirs. Our short models
    now wind and cut 5" (127mm) long coils in about the same time.That
    translates into greater productivity and reduced scrap. If production
    needs dictate, a 15" (381mm) long version with power winding is
    available. 

    5. The winder's chuck on all copies have a 3/8" (9.5mm) keyless
    chuck for low cost. The Jump Ringer's is a 1/2" (12.5mm) keyed Jacobs
    chuck for greater versatility and better holding power. 

    6. Fancy shaped (oval, square, triangle and diamond) jump rings may
    be made with the Jump Ringer by purchasing the appropriate accessory. 


    Rick Maddocks' original posting asked, " Is there a more expensive
    machine that does this better?" The answer is yes it's called Jump
    Ringer. *You get what you pay for.*
