How to use crimp beads and crimping pliers

Crimping pliers are specially designed for crimp beads. It is a handy tool for making clean, round crimps. It will give you greater control over the tiny crimps, so there's no need to squash your crimps with flat nose pliers.

Step 1:

Insert your crimp bead onto nylon coated wire like Beadalon.
