Below are the tools I use regularly for wire jewelry tools for wire wrapping. These are affiliate links to Amazon, I do get a small commission on the sales using these links. I tried to include the brand name and model number, if available, so you can look at your favorite retailer for these if you prefer.
If I could have NO other tools, the ones marked, "FAVORITE" are the ones I would choose. With these I can do almost anything that I can do with the others. Jewelry making pliers or needle nose pliers are essential tools for working with wire.
FAVORITE - IGAN-170 ultra-fine flush cutters

FAVORITE - tweezer nose pliers - Xuron Tweezer Nose 450
https://amzn.to/4eTkcO7
FAVORITE: 3-piece set. Mudder brand. Bail-making, Nylon Jaw, and Bent Nose pliers
https://amzn.to/47D21tm
Alternative wire jewelry tools to the ones above
FAVORITE: for bead wrapping - BeadSmith chain nose pliers. These should sort of be in the grouping above as I use them often but was able to do the same thing with the previous pliers for the first few years before I got these, so they are just a nice to have.
