Wire cutters and tool question
Feb. 18th, 2005 11:25 amAh, see..now that makes things MUCH easier.
I just bought proper wire cutters to compliment my small collection of jewellery making tools. The needle nose pliers just weren't cutting it for wire cutting, lol :) I can't believe how much EASIER it makes things now.
Now just to get those pricey crimp pliers. I now have blunt nose, needle nose, round nose pliers and wire cutters.
Are chain nose pliers really necessary? What do they do that needle nose can't? I am finding that some jobs would be easier to do with 2 set of pliers and I suppose just buying a set of chain nose to compliment my needle nose would make sense?
I'm a pretty novice crafter who just started dabbling in jewellery making. So far I'm sticking mostly to cheap plastic beads.
Here's a link to my craft photos and my latest creation (a memory wire bracelet) behind the cut.
