It's actually very easy to do - after following the instructions once, you probably won't need them ever again. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe crimper is a hand-tool which forms a smooth unobtrusive crimp, banishing forever the unsightly sharp-edged crimp formed by conventional flattening methods. It forms a finished crimp whose diameter is smaller than the original crimp bead. If desired the crimp can be hidden in a crimp bead cover, a clamshell type bead tip, or slipped into a large hole bead. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(See diagram). After the last bead (A), the jewelry wire or monofilament (B) is passed throught the crimp bead (C) - around the clasp or jump-ring (D) - back through the crimp (C) - and optionally back through the last bead (A). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Step 1, the crimp bead or tube is fully secured to the cord in the crimping station (E). Best results are obtained when the two wires are positioned on either side of the center dimple. The resulting crimped bead now has a valley or dimple in the middle. In Step 2, the final shaping is carried out in the rounding station (F), where the bead is, in essence, folded over itself and compacted, making it smaller and causing it to grip the wire or cord very tightly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eurotool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":27764609482852,"sku":"XTL-5265","price":17.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0153\/9276\/8100\/products\/xtl-5265a__1.jpg?v=1575511124"},{"product_id":"wire-thread-protectors-protector-loops-silver-color","title":"Wire \u0026 Thread Protectors, 144 Pieces, Silver Color (.019 Inch Loops)","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire Protectors hide and protect thread and beading wire up to .019 Inch diameter from the everyday wear and tear caused by toggles, clasps or other findings. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse like French wire to put the finishing touch on your necklaces and bracelets.

It forms a finished crimp whose diameter is smaller than the original crimp bead. If desired the crimp can be hidden in a crimp bead cover, a clamshell type bead tip, or slipped into a large-holed bead. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements: Pliers are 5.25 inches long, tips are 2.5mm at the narrowest point.

After the last bead (A), the jewelry wire or monofilament (B) is passed throught the crimp bead (C) - around the clasp or jump-ring (D) - back through the crimp (C) - and optionally back through the last bead (A). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Step 1, the crimp bead or tube is fully secured to the cord in the crimping station (E). Best results are obtained when the two wires are positioned on either side of the center dimple. The resulting crimped bead now has a valley or dimple in the middle. In Step 2, the final shaping is carried out in the rounding station (F), where the bead is, in essence, folded over itself and compacted, making it smaller and causing it to grip the wire or cord very tightly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eurotool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39871519195236,"sku":"XTL-5200","price":14.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0153\/9276\/8100\/products\/xtl-5200a__1.jpg?v=1743018398"},{"product_id":"beadalon-beading-wire-gold-color-015-inch-15-feet","title":"Beadalon Beading Wire Gold Color 19 Strand .015 Inch \/ 15 Feet","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeadalon \"Gold Color\" is comprised of a blend of tarnish-resistant alloy metals with an actual Gold Plating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished with a clear nylon coating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19 micro-fine strands are twisted together to create this beading wire.
