The Crimper is a low cost hand tool for forming a smooth unobtrusive crimp.

It banishes forever the unsightly sharp edged crimp, formed by conventional flattening methods.

How to use:

At the last bead (A), the wire or thread (B) is passed through the crimp bead or tube (C) -through the clasp or jump ring (D) - back though the crimp (C) - and optionally back through the end bead (A).

In Step 1, the crimp bead or tube is fully secured to the cord in the crimping Station (B). Best results are obtained, when the two wires are positioned on either side of the centre dimple.

In Step 2, the final shaping is carried out in the final rounding Station (F). The small size of the formed crimp allows it to be hidden in a bead tip. Here, the last bead is followed by the bead tip (or (the clasp) and the crimp itself becomes the end of the piece.
The stringing procedure is the same as before except for a thin wire that is temporarily used in place of the clasp (D) and the assembly is fully drawn up before crimping.
The use of the thin wire allows the loop at the end of the crimp lo be made as small as possible.
