I would love to try these Om Tara's Easy Crimp Pliers! I always have difficulty with the crimps. They never line up correctly and sometimes I even have to rip them off and start over again. Thanks for highlighting this new product!

Those pliers sound wonderful. I have ruined so many crimp beads in the past and I've had necklaces fall apart because the crimp wasn't secure.

I would love to try a better way to crimp. So far I use just a flatten the crimp. But it isn't the best way, I'm sure.

These look like awesome crimping pliers. I haven't done much stringing lately because I don't like using the traditional crimping pliers. I could get back into stringing with a pair like these!!

I must have at least 1/2 a dozen crimping pliers and still find myself fighting to get a decent looking crimp (thank heaven for crimp bead covers!). I'd love to give these pliers a try - anything to make finishing off those pesky little necessities of jewelry making easier is a welcomed blessing. :)

When I first started trying my hand at making jewelry, I always tried to avoid crimping. I hated it. I always felt awkward and ended up breaking the crimps, getting the wires crossed and just plain giving up. I realized that I could not avoid it and continue to get frustrated when crimping. I would love to give these pliers a try. Sandra Woerner, popspet@comcast.net

Well Chances are with all these entries I won't win but that really doesn't matter because I have got to go out and get a pair of these. I swear I have tried every type of crimper there is on the market and hate them all. SO now I simply avoid making anything that needs crimping!!! And that leaves a lot out of what I am not creating at this time. Would love to finally find a crimper that really works well. Hope this one is it!!!

I would love to use your crimp pliers. When I have used two different types of crimp pliers, the standard type and the one that makes a round crimp, I always get a sharp edge on the crimp and have difficulty trying to get a smooth crimp without also cutting my wire with too much pressure. Your pliers appear to be the answer to my problems. Thank you for your creativity.
