I didn't know this existed until it popped up on Ebay while I was looking for something else. Thought I'd purchase it..was a great price...& see if it would make closing jewelry easier than with using a regular crimp tool. I was a bit worried it would be complicated but after looking at the directions on the back of package..seemed fairly easy. I've only had for a short time so am still practicing with it. Seems you do have to have the crimp bead exactly as shown on directions. So far have only used my Bead Buddy crimper on one bracelet. It did great but I do not think I'm quite proficient enough yet so am practicing until I feel more confident using on jewelry. Fairly certain that once I've got it down pat, I will love this tool.. Just hoping it will last a long time. Wish I'd have found sooner. Read full review

i thought that the idea this device made was awesome, i actually wanted it for months and so i purchased it at a great deal here on eBay... after getting the device ... which was NEW, in its sealed wrapper, i done some test crimps, just to see if it did HOLD up to the hype .... but ... to my testing it does not .... i am use to the smaller crimps and the two step crimp as most of us use .. i found that that 1 step uses the tubes... so i tested or practiced lol ... but i did not get the results... now i am not saying that i will not be trying to learn this tool more ... but after playing around with it ... i will not TRUST the crimps just yet ... i am testing them out on a anklet that i made to see how they hold. also to NOTE.... when trying my Favorite Blue Moon crimps... this device cracked them every time. i was told that it works really good with sterling crimps so i will look into that ... i think that the idea is great ... hope my trails may help you .... i still thank that it is fun and great to do test runs with. ....

This is difficult to figure out, even after watching the video. It does not perform properly. It does not double fold the crimp at all, and only flattens part of it. I have made jewelry for 50 years. I'm sorry I spent $12.00 on this tool, would rather have something I could have used.

At first I wasn't going to buy it as I had a crimper but looked at all the ads in its favor so bought it. I'M SO GLAD I BOUGHT IT. It is a one step machine that really does what it says. All you have to do is put your crimping bead (after getting all the all the things you'd normally do with the other crimper) in the cradle under the lever on top and let that lever hold it in place while you squeeze the two larger handles and that's it. GREAT MACHINE
