    The JB Pro Plier Gun Handle Crimper is an angled crimping plier. This can be used in jewellery-making to use on crimp beads and tubes. I found these at a Lens Mill Store for under $10. I am not familiar with the brand.

    Before buying these, I'd only really had experience with my micro crimping pliers. I decided to buy something bigger because the micro crimpers can't really crimp larger beads. These were cheap, but they looked pretty nice. The handle is a soft material, making them very comfortable for me to use. They are quite large, which can be quite cumbersome for someone like me, but as long as I find a good place to grip I'm fine.

    The biggest issue here is that these don't really crimp very well. I tried these out on a larger size of crimp bead, bigger than what my micro crimper can handle. It didn't put a dent in the bead. It felt like I was squeezing as hard as I could, but these pliers just couldn't crimp them. I wasn't using anything too big, so I'm not sure why these didn't work. I guess they just aren't strong enough.

    I wouldn't recommend these, even if they are cheap. I'd suggest saving up for something from Bead Landing or another trusted brand.
