Carbon steel crimping pliers for crimp beads

Approximately 13cms long, 6.5cms wide, 10.5cms thick

Crimping pliers are essential for securing beads and findings in jewellery making. Their design allows for precise control and ensures a strong, durable hold on your jewellery pieces. Here's how they are typically used:

Attaching Crimp Beads: Crimping pliers are used to secure crimp beads, which are small metal beads that hold the ends of beading wire in place. You thread the wire through the crimp bead, loop it back through, and then use the pliers to flatten the bead, securing the wire.
Creating a Secure Finish: After flattening the crimp bead, the pliers have a second notch that rounds off the crimp, making it more secure and giving it a neat, professional look.
Adding Clasps: Crimping pliers are also used to attach clasps to the ends of necklaces or bracelets. You thread the wire through the clasp, then through a crimp bead, and use the pliers to secure it.
Securing Beads in Place: They can also be used to secure beads in place along a wire, preventing them from sliding around.
