How to crimp beads with the 1-Step Crimper from Bead Buddy. A great demonstration of this new product for beaders. Designed for most crimp beads and tubes, easy to use, makes a perfect and reliable crimp every time. Just one squeeze.
Sorry...the "holder" part is called the reset lever. I also got my tool at JoAnns with a 50% off coupon. I hope mine keeps working and if it doesn't I will just go buy another.
I've used mine to finish off a couple of beaded necklaces and I love it. It took a few practice tries to get it right and I didn't see the video first. I think some may have a problem if they are using smaller than #2 crimp tubes because if the "holder" part is all the way closed it won't allow the handles to be squeezed together...like when the tool is empty, it won't activate until you move the small handle. Once I figured it out, it made wonderful crimps. I also love using the crimp covers.
This is a really neat tool. After 3 minutes of practice I had it working! I used the crimps that came with the unit on #18 c-lon cord and it works great. The fit is tight and the crimp is barely visible. It does work better than the standard crimping tool that is available. Thanks!

Arghhh. . mine stopped working after making some perfect crimps. The handles don't squeeze together. I am not sure what happened.

I can't seem to make mine work right. I swear I must be a total idiot or something. Even watching the video didn't help me

I too bought my crimper from JoAnn. Inexpensive price to begin with, even better with a 50% off regular price item coupon.

Got one last night at JoAnn Fabric's... Not as expensive as I thought it would be, I'm in love with it.
