I am looking to buy some round nose pliers to bend some wire into a circle. I just can't get a decent bend, without a flat spot, using needle nose pliers. Do you have a recommendation on which ones to buy? Do I need ones with the concave bit on one side? A link to your favorites would be appreciated. I'd like a set where I can bend some wire into a very small circle. Thanks in advance.

Jeff, What you need is Wire Looping pliers. There are many different kinds. Do a search on them.
This is what I use as they have 3 steps for various loop sizes.

These are what I have used for years on spinnerbaits.
