• COLOR ASSORTMENT: This variety pack contains 500 pieces of 2mm crimps. There are 125 of each finish in the following colors - black oxide, copper, gold, and silver.
• BETTER QUALITY: Because the inside of a crimp tube tends to be more spacious, they can be better at gripping beading wire, providing a more secure crimp. Using a crimping plier provides a more aesthetically pleasing finish.
• PROFESSIONAL FINISH: Tube Crimps are generally made of soft metal and designed to secure clasps onto jewelry making wire. They work well to finish a piece and blend it with the finished design.
• EASY TO USE: Though frequently used by designers, beginners will also benefit from their simplicity. Slide the beading wire through a crimp, then loop through your clasp or jump ring. Slide it back through and use a flat nose or crimping plier to lock in place!
• CHOOSE THE RIGHT CRIMP: To eliminate breakage, and wonky looking beads, determine the best size wire for your crimps. 1mm is great for thinner wire, such as .007-014, 2mm is ideal for medium .019 strands and 3mm is better for the heavier cables.
