Beadalon Crimp Tube Assorted Sizes Variety Pack Silver Plated - 600 pcs, Size 1, 2, 3, 4, for Jewelry Making & Beading

These have been working perfectly for my beading purposes. I've been working with some craft pieces that are a little heavier, and they are holding up just great.

These crimp easily but are sturdy and will not split. Having the assortment is nice so I can choose the smallest crimp for the beading wire or string I am using.

i love having a choice of sizes since i use different gauges of wire. they are easy to crimp and hold fast.

They are well made and useful.

Great crimp beads just don't squeeze them to hard or they will be useless.

This is what I used to restring a pearl necklace and a bracelet:Amazon # B078WNZ9FW crimperAmazon # B001FD3BAM #1-#4 crimp tubes (#2 used for 0.018 inch wire.Amazon # B0018NBRH8 Beadalon 19-Strand Bead Stringing Wire, 0.018 inch, BrightThe crimpers were especially well suited to crimp the tube sleeves. For a 0.018 Inch wire, a #2 tube sleeve worked well. I used the 1.6mm anvil and die on the crimper to crimp the #2 tube sleeves. Normally, the tube sleeves are just smashed flat. But, this type of crimper is an anvil and die type which applies pressure all around the tube and it retains the wire much better than just smashing the tube with anything other than an anvil and die type crimper.

Made a very secure joint that I could not pull part when used with the proper crimping pliers. The necklace I repaired is heavy and the original wire broke but these crimps worked great.

I use these to keep my windchimes and haven't had a problem with them yet.
