"All right, I'm going to talk about the best tools that I've found to make my necklaces that were efficient for me. The first tool is a needle nose and it's flat end and it's very easy to crimp and it's also used to pull things, pull your wire through your beads. The second tool that I really like to use is this very small wire cutter and it's great for your, your seven strand beads on wire and it cuts it very nice and small and you can get in, and if it's narrow enough, you can get in through the beads so you can cut fine, real close to the edges. The next tool that is really great, especially for earrings, is a needle nose but it's rounded and it's awesome for your pins when you want to shape them. The last final tool is a crimper which is great for the bracelets and the necklaces which you would use when you crimp the end of your necklaces and this tool is awesome because you don't have to worry about cutting your wire because if you don't use this tool and you use your flat end tool to crimp, you do tend to weaken the wire at the ends where the clasps are.
