Do you use beading wire? I do and I never cared for the look of the crimps. Soft-Flex has saved my crimps with their Magical Crimping Pliers. The Magical Crimping Pliers will turn the tube crimp into a lovely rounded bead shape. If you’re new to using the tool, Soft Flex is there to help with a tutorial on how to use the magical crimping pliers.

I’m glad that you love the tool!
