DUAL CRIMPER
The Dual Crimper incorporates two medium crimping cavities
to fit crimp tubes and beads of medium size. Each cavity of the
Dual Crimper is slightly larger (or smaller) than the other, to give
the user the ability to tighten the crimp properly. Works with #1
and #2 Round Crimp Beads or #2 Crimp Tubes, as well as other
non-standard crimp bead and tube sizes. The Dual Crimper has
soft ergonomic handles that give you a great grip and are more
comfortable to use. Approximately 5 inches long

THE MICRO CRIMPER
The Micro Crimper is specially designed for use with smaller size
crimp beads and tubes. This crimping tool works well for securing
#1 Crimp Tubes and #0 Round Crimp Beads. Use one firm squeeze
to crimpwith the inner-position grooves, then use the outer position
grooves to round off the crimp. The jaw grooves are comparably
smaller thanother crimpers tomake a dependable closure on smaller
crimp findings. Approximately 5 inches long.

JEWELERS BEADING TOOLS
At the last bead (A), pass the jewelry wire (B) through the crimp bead or tube (C), then
through the clasp or jump ring (D), back through the crimp (C), and optionally back through
the end bead (A).
Step 1- Secure the crimp in the crimping station (E). Best results are obtained when the two
wires are positioned on either side of the center dimple.
Step 2- Final shaping in the rounding station (F) – forming a smooth, rounded crimp.
NOTE: When bead stringing, it is important for the bead crimp to match whatever wire that
one is using. The worst case is using too large of crimp with finer wire; then the crimp may
not close enough to hold properly. Always test that the crimp is secure on the wire.
HOW TO FORM THE PERFECT CRIMP
CRIMPERS
A.
B.
CRIMP BEADS
finish off wire connections when beading. Use crimpers shown above. Bead is placed in lower groove
of the tool with wires side by side. Make one firm compression. Then put crimp bead into upper position, turn 90° and make
another firm compression. This rounds the crimp and creates the perfect crimp connection. Packages contain approx. 1.5 grams
of beads. Wt. 1 oz. each pkg.
