Default Crimping Question

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.

Do yourself a favor and buy the larger crimping pliers. They aren't all that
expensive and well worth it. You will be amazed at the difference it makes in
finishing your work.

Thanks for your replies. I will be getting the correct size crimpers soon.
Hobby Lobby carries them so I will just drive over there to get them.

Could you (or someone else) provide the details of a good online
source for them?

It's so worth it. If I didn't have the right crimpers, my stuff would just lie
around waiting to be finished (how can anyone finish without 'em?).

www.monsterslayer.com has them for $7.95 (US)


OMG, I could get in trouble at this site. I LOVE their faceted fancy jasper
beads. Yummmmmmm. And many other things to. Thanks for passing that on.
Who'd of thought something called Monster Slayer had beads.

While we're talking crimpers, just to add - don't make the mistake I
did and use your crimp pliers to open split rings! It works great,
but it will eventually ruin your crimpers.
