New Tool, Big Difference
I am now the proud owner of a pair of crimpers.
I just *had* to try them out last night, so I grabbed my crystal car baubble and crimped the tubes. Surprisingly easy, but now it's kind of screwed up. LOL This was only the second time I've used tube crimps. The first time they broke. Anyway, they held together for my rear-view baubble, and since they were squished flat, all the beads sat nicely together. After getting the crimpers after them, the bottom crimp now sits nicely inside the bottom bead. Which, of course, means that there's now a slight gap. sigh Oh well, it's no biggie to me about the gap since the dangle will *eventually* make its way to my car. I just might spend the day crimping my old pieces and whatever else I can think of. I think I'm going to like these.... Rachel T. Damn right I'm good in bed. I can sleep for days. |

In article ldnQa.49137$OZ2.8865@rwcrnsc54, says...
Or a small (2 or 3mm), silver bead. I tried that *once*. Managed to catch the bead along with the crimp and flatten it thoroughly! The daisy spacer doesn't slip into the crimper jaws, and I like the way it looks on the finished item.
