 As advertized and more...read on Sep 14, 2009
By S. Reschke
Living in a community that boasts all of one craft store, I had to order this tool online and then discovered that you need specific crimp beads (gold filled 2mm or sterling silver 2mm only) and specific stringing wire 0.019 diameter only. Based on all that information, I was hooped. I only have available to me Beadalon products (crimps and wire). So, feeling like I had nothing to lose, I strung a standard 2mm gold plated (not filled) Beadalon crimp onto some Beadalon sterling silver plated 0.018 wire, formed a loop and crimped. The first two tries were disasterous until I realized that the bead needs to be perfectly centered in the little pocket of the crimper. On my third try I formed the expected "ravioli" shape, much to my surprise and four rotations of the wire later, I had a perfect round bead. The next step was to try to force the loop to break, so I looped it over a mandrel and tried forcing the loop apart. No luck. I was so thrilled with the outcome I ended up crimping several loops just to ensure this wasn't a fluke. The tool works as advertised and yes, you can use 0.018 beading wire and the less expensive plated crimps, just make sure they are 2mm long, so that they're slightly bigger than the little pocket in the tool's jaws. Well worth the investment for the clean, neat finish of the crimp beads without the bulk of crimp covers. I would highly recommend this tool to anyone that enjoys beading.

BEST Crimper EVER Apr 12, 2009
By Sherry L. Bercaw

Stop spending your money on crimp covers!!! This tool does it all, the tool makes your crimp bead magically turn into a round ball and I NEVER have had one fail, unlike the original crimp tool. I swear you won't be disappointed, I bought crimpers in .014 and .019 sizes.

 such a disappointment Dec 15, 2009
By Melody O'Beau

I am not a newbie to crimping. I bought the Beadsmith Magical Crimper because the idea of creating a round bead from a tubular crimp was brilliant. As recommended in the directions I used it on .019" flexible beading wire (49 strand "Soft-Flex") with 2mm gold-filled tubular crimps. Even after much practice the best results I ever attained looked like VERY pitted gold semi-round uneven clumps. Perhaps some other brand of crimps would work better and perhaps a different brand of .019" Flex Wire.

Love it! May 19, 2010
By D. Fox
"dlkfox"
This is one of my favorite crimping tools! It makes such a clean, professional finish to any bracelet or necklace. No need for crimp covers.
Instructions: Make sure you center the crimp tube in the hollow part of the tool, crimp, and see a ravioli shape. Half-turn and crimp again until a smooth bead is created.
Special note about the requirements of the PURPLE-handled Bead Smith Magical Bead Crimper: It works only with 2x2mm crimps and .019 wire. (Although I have gotten away with .018 wire.)
(There is also a green-handled one, which accommodates .014 - .015 wire.)

Takes some practice but works as advertised Jul 20, 2009
By Just me

Great tool, perfect for having smaller, nicer crimps (as crimp covers obviously must be larger than the crimp) and no seams as with covers. Definitely recommended.
