Default Finishing a piece...longer than I intended...

I was reading a post on down the line about making jewelry to sell, and the
part about the findings and workmanship makes so much sense. I don't want to
sell my items, but the ones I give as gifts I want to last and last...I am
having trouble with the crimping beads, but I think my crimping tool is
cheap, and maybe doesn't work as it could...getting to the point here...how
do you tuck the end of the beading wire back through more than one bead? I
can usually use two silver beads, crimp, then one more silver bead after the
crimp. I can maneuver the wire back through the crimp and maybe one bead,
but never more as it gets too tight. Any suggestions, what works for you,
etc??? Thanks in advance,
Arleen
