These are the essential tools that every beader should have in her tool box to successfully string beads, flatten crimps, attach clasps, create loops and work with jump rings:
Round Nose Plier
Multiple loop sizes can be made with the graduated, cone-like jaws of these pliers.
Side Cutter
The small, sharp angled blade makes it easy to precisely cut soft metal wire or tiger tail.
Chain Nose Pliers
These pliers have smooth flat jaws that narrow to a tip and are most commonly used for gripping and reaching into tight places.
