Category: Jewellery Making Tools

A finishing tool for strung work: these pliers close 2–3mm crimp beads and tube beads at the end of a beading-wire strand, using a two-stage jaw that first folds the crimp over the wire and then rounds it closed. The result is a termination that grips firmly without the finding being crushed flat — the difference between a strand that holds and one that lets go at the clasp.

The 127mm (5") frame is black-finished steel on a simple lap joint, so the action stays smooth through a long stringing session, and the cushioned blue vinyl grips keep repetitive crimping comfortable. Wipe the jaws down now and then and the two stages will keep closing cleanly.

  • Two-stage jaws form and round crimps for a secure, finished look.
  • Sized specifically for use with 2–3mm crimp beads and tube beads.
  • Cushioned blue vinyl grips provide comfort and control during repetitive use.
  • Black-finished steel construction for workshop durability.
  • Simple lap joint construction provides smooth plier action.

Who it's for

Chloe ★★★★★

The two-stage jaw is a game-changer—it folds the crimp over and rounds it off in one squeeze, so my finished strands finally look neat instead of jagged. Took me a few tries to get the pressure right on these 2mm beads, but now it's totally consistent.

John ★★★★★

I was struggling to get clean crimps with my old pliers, but these handle the 2–3mm tube beads perfectly. The two-stage jaw folds and rounds the crimp smoothly without any sharp edges, and the compact 5-inch size is easy to control. Exactly what I needed for finishing my beaded necklaces.

Lily ★★★★★

The two-stage jaw makes such a difference—I can actually get a smooth, rounded crimp without any sharp edges poking through. It took me a couple tries to get the hang of the pressure, but now my beaded bracelets feel way more secure than with regular pliers.
