We recommend the sterling silver and the gold-filled crimp tubes for the best results. You can use a flat-nose pliers to squeeze your crimp tubes, but a specialized bead crimping tool is the best to use. 
Remember, it is not necessary to squeeze too hard on the crimp tube when attaching it to the wire. The crimp tube is secured when there is no space between the wire and the inside of the tube. Squeezing too hard weakens the crimp. <span class="a-text-bold">A:</span> It is important that you use the right size tool for your crimp tubes.  For 1mm crimp tubes, we recommend the Micro Crimper.  For 2mm crimp tubes, we recommend the Bead Crimper Tool.  For 3mm and 4mm crimp tubes, we recommend using either the Mighty Crimper or Bent Chain Nose Pliers.  Finally, for round crimp tubes and twisted crimp tubes, we recommend Bent Chain Nose Pliers.
