I have a question regarding chasing hammers. What is the difference between a chasing hammer and a claw or ball-peen, etc. hammer?

what kind of wire do you use with this jump ring maker? what are some brands and what is the wire called?

i am ordering 20 and 22 gauge wire and i notice there are different types besides the gauge sizes..dead soft, half hard and full hard..im guessing it isnt dead soft....is full hard better or half hard is ok? the last thing i would want is for my work to bend and fall apart
what guage wire do you reccomend? 18, 20, 22, 24, 26? or can you use any? ( this is important to me) I own this gizmo but hadn't figured out how to use thank you thank you!!

Personally, I would work with 20 - 22 gauge wire when working with this tool. Too thick and you might damage the tool, while too thin a gauge might be too thin to hold it's shape. You can also temper your jump rings with a chasing hammer and dapping block to harden the jump rings after shaping.

A Jump ring is a finding that is used to connect one portion of your jewelry to the next. For example: You have a length of chain that you want to make into a necklace, but you also want to hang a charm from the chain. You would use a jump ring to connect the charm to the chain.
