Xuron - 494 Four in One Crimping Pliers

I have been making/stringing jewelry for 14 years. This crimping tool is the best crimper I have ever come across! A year ago, I was teaching a friend how to crimp and she broke the crimp tool that I had since 2004. I have bought 3 different crimp tools in various brands since then, none of which would close a crimp neatly and securely to my satisfaction - until I found this one. The Xuron 4-in-1 tool is versatile and the product description in the listing is spot on. I love this crimp tool for many reasons. First, the part of the tool with the dimp that crimps the bead into a C-shape has no gap in it, so it crimps nice and tight. Secondly, there are three different sizes of spaces to use to fold over the crimp, and each folds it nice and tight. Thirdly, it's so nice to have a chain nose tip built into it. I can use it to tighten/flatten the crimp even further, before adding a crimp cover. Lastly, I was delighted to find that the largest size of the three spaces works wonderfully to close a crimp cover over a crimp bead with the least amount of deforming. Just use the chain nose tip to partially close the crimp cover, then use the largest space to close the crimp cover the rest of the way. Hardly any deforming at all. I have never found a crimp tool that works as well as this one does, and I highly recommend it. A great value for the money, too. Thank you Xuron!

I live my Xuron Multi-Crimping Pliers! They work great. Very durable, versatile, and fits comfortably in your hands. The tool is well worth the purchase, but I also feel that $2 or $3 less would be more of a resonable price range.

This crimp tool securely fastens beading wire to clasps and other jewelry pieces. This handy tool's precise crimping ability shapes the crushed crimp into creating a nice and sturdy finish that blends seamlessly into the jewelry design.

Exactly as described. Good quality tool.

Before buying these Xuron crimping pliers, I bought a really cheap pair that didn’t work because the jaws of the pliers didn’t meet up together. Ended up returning that one and replacing it with this Xuron pair. I should have bought this one originally. Easy to use, and does the job on the first try. So worth the money. I’ve been using this pliers almost everyday and still feels like new.

I bought these when I started making jewelry a few months ago. Sometimes they work great, but sometimes they just reopen the crimp instead of folding it. I can believe I've done everything right, and sometimes it still happens without warning. I also sometimes find the folds it creates when it *does* work to be a little inconsistent in shape and often need flipped and squeezed again. However, when it works the crimp is very tight and secure. I've never had one that closed properly slip loose. They are also great pliers, which is why I spent the extra money on these in the first place. When they work as intended, they are perfect.

This is a very good tool. It fits comfortably in the hand and is very easy to work with. My hand doesn’t get tired at all. They are very precise because of their fine tips. I’m very happy with this purchase and I think I’ll come back for another tool.

Best crimper ever. Have had no failures since I started using them.
