I was trying to find something for a felt animal mobile that would look good, hold up well but also make it fairly easy to remove the felt animals when it came time. These worked great. I crimped them on to the end of ribbons and attached the animals to the ribbons with s hooks. It tells you to use flat pliers. Follow the directions. I tried to use the pliers I had with me. Big mistake. Even with the flat pliers, I lost some, but for the most part, they were easy to crimp and looked good. Mistakes were fairly easy to pry apart and either do over or discard - so easy it made me worry they might not be strong enough. But they continue to do their jobs of holding the animals to the mobile.
These are good, sturdy, and accurate to size (as far as I know). I ordered the 7~10mm set, but even the largest size was too small for the woven cord I was using, so I'll have to go find larger. The main issue I had was how shallow the inside of the cap was- there's maybe 2/3 of the space available inside to tuck cord in, and even super glue wouldn't help secure the cord. I'm sure the depth is fine for some projects, just unfortunately not mine.
use these to tye off fabric ends and they work well, more stainless steell than shiny silver in color
These are exactly what they are advertised as. I can't complain!
Nice quality, little smaller than I expected but worked for what I needed them for.

Description
Simply use your flat nose or chain nose pliers to crimp this round component to your leather, rubber, or microfiber cord. It is perfect for use with clasps, lobster clasps, and trigger clasps.
These are exactly what I was looking for! I was afraid they would be too big for my 1.5mm leather cord, but they work fine. Not a perfect fit, necessarily, but very doable!
Seem to be pretty strong and overall easy to use
Good Quality
Good product. product closure is clean and even. Looks professional. It is worth the little more money per unit to have what you are making look pristine.
