{"product_id":"sterling-silver-crimp-tube","title":"Sterling Silver Crimp Tube","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sterling Silver Crimp Tube provides a much neater finish than crimp beads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crimp tubes measure 2mm x 2mm and have a 1.3mm internal diameter.

The 1.3mm internal diametre hole should give you a good idea of what you can use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou use crimp tubes in the same way as crimp beads. Crimp tubes are used to crimp the ends of threads to capture a clasp. You would either crush them flat using \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mailorder-beads.co.uk\/shop\/hobby-chain-nose-pliers\/\"\u003echain nose pliers\u003c\/a\u003e or use standard-size \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mailorder-beads.co.uk\/shop\/standard-crimping-pliers\/\"\u003ecrimping pliers\u003c\/a\u003e. Crimping pliers differ from chainnose because they have two shaped notches in the jaws. Crimping pliers give a neater finish as you crush and fold the crimp tube. This also tends to make the crimped crimp tube more secure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sterling silver crimp tube also works well with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mailorder-beads.co.uk\/shop\/magical-crimp-plier\/\"\u003emagical crimpers\u003c\/a\u003e.
