Our Story: From Necessity to Innovation

Sometimes, necessity truly is the mother of invention. At WireTools, our entire journey began not from a desire to innovate for innovation’s sake, but from a personal challenge faced by our founder, Eros Nicolau, during an experimental project with hybrid bearings. This project wasn’t just about exploring engineering concepts; it was about creating something useful with the tools at hand—tools that, as it turned out, didn’t yet exist for wire manipulation at home.

The Challenge That Sparked a Solution

While trying to replicate with 3d printing the sophisticated principle of wire race bearings, originally developed by Franke in 1934, for a fun home project, Eros quickly realized the lack of commercially available appropriate tools for processing wire in a home-shop, non-industrial setting. This gap in the market led to the birth of WireTools. It was clear that if someone passionate about DIY needed these tools, others might as well.

Creating WireTools

Driven by the need to complete his project, Eros set about designing the tools that were missing. The result was our first products: the Wire Straightener and Wire Ring Roller. Designed out of necessity, these tools cater to anyone looking to work with wire with precision and ease, from hobbyists to professionals.
