I also am not happy with the crimps I get from tube beads. I do well with
the cheap corrugated ones (plated). The holes are bigger in the cheap ones. Could that be the reason? Tina "SmartAlecBlonde4" wrote in message ... I have the gist of proper crimping with crimp pliers. I looked at mine and saw that they were the micro crimper. So I've been trying to get that nice look you get when you do the final crimp and it just doesn't work right for me. I am using the 2x2mm tubes and I'm just wondering if its because I'm using the micro crimp tool. I do plan to buy the other crimper one of these days when I feel like spending the money for them, I'd rather buy beads. Jo Jo |

Thanks to everyone who recommended me as a source for your crimping pliers! I carry both the regular Euro-tool crimpers and the Euro-tool Micro crimpers. AND...I just got in the best micro-micro split ring pliers! They are so fine they can really get into a split ring without bending it out of shape. I have micro-split ring pliers on my eBay store (Hye on Beads) but these are even better. I don't have them up on the store YET. They are $7.95 plus $1.00 shipping.

Fast being an understatement, I've just had the pleasure of buying some
'proper' crimps from Suzanne on eBay, they arrived in the UK quicker than stuff I got from a UK eBay supplier 2 days earlier and she replies to questions with more than one word. It was just a lovely experience parting with money!! Amanda Nottingham, UK "Dr. Sooz" wrote in message ... Suzanne has lots of good things -- like HypoCement, tools, you name it. She ships fast and she basically rocks. |

Suzanne, I think I will be sending you some paypal soon! Can I check though, I have some crimps labeled as having an internal diameter of 1.3mm, and some from another supplier who I will probably be using from now on for crimps, they are a teeny bit bigger (I'd guess internal diameter of about 1.5mm). Which size of crimper should I use for these? |
