Amazon review: I am a beginner at beading and this was my first bead board purchase. I am happy with it - there are lots of places to put your beads, there are enough places to make necklaces or bracelets of multiple strands, and its measurements are clearly marked. The lid is a bit flimsy, just a clear piece of plastic, so I wouldn't necessarily use it while traveling. But it is a good enough lid for me to use at home. I would recommend this product to a friend.
 
Amazon review: This is a great product! It is very sturdy and is a good size. There are places to put the beads you are working with and I LOVE the top that fits on it. I can put the top on and store a project I'm only halfway finished with. The top fits snugly so the beads do not shift around. I'm really pleased with it!

Amazon review: Where have I been! Not only does this give me the ability to take a bead project with me, but it is soooo convenient to have both large beading boards for necklaces and this one for a bracelet in progress. It allows space to work on multiple projects with inspiration. I have 1 large with cover and this traveler board. I will probably buy 2 more in each size. I love having my work dust free and protected.

Amazon review: I have been working with this same knotting tool for over a year now. I bought the Bead Cord knotter tool at the suggestion of a jeweler friend, who was helping me earn extra money. At the time that I purchased it, I had no prior experience with stringing, beading or knotting. I learned gradually solely by using the included instruction book. I was nervous handling other people's pearls at first, so those first three necklace strands were rejected by the jeweler as not professional enough, and he took the jobs over and redid them himself. But he gave me more work, and with a little more persistence, I got the hang of it. The frequency of beading and pearl restringing work varies, but I have been knotting about 2 strands per week. Most are 18 inches in length, but I have restrung strands as long as 40 inches with tight, consistent knots using this tool. This knotter is sturdy and durable, I have no complaint with it. I believe it's the best tool for the job. I am very glad that I took the jeweler's advice by not purchasing a less expensive plastic model, as this wood-handled tool is serving me very well.

Amazon review: This is a pretty simple tool, but every beader MUST have one. I have this particular model and it has never failed me. Basically one opening on the tool bends the crimp bead in to a kind of a "u" shape and the other opening closes the "u" to form a smooth, compact "o".
Amazon review: I bought this because my boyfriends mom had one! I loved it after the first use and had to get my own! Great tool and long lasting good grips!

Amazon review: Tools were sufficient for my needs as a beginner beadier. They arrived quickly and have held up well. They fit my hands well and are comfortable.

Product Description: BATTERY POWERED MOTORIZED BEAD SPINNER FOR SEED BEADS. Other hand-spun bowls are great for stringing small beads on thread whn you are creating strands of seed beads for decorative craft work. BUT! you have to keep one hand busy spinning, and the variable speed makes the stringing a minor hassle. And, if you try to string too many at once, the spinner will slow quickly. This motorized bead spinner comes to the rescue!! Using two AA batteries, this portable spinner works with any size seed bead that will slip over the needles, including Delica beads in sizes 6/0 to 15/0. You can now mix & match your loose beads and string them quickly. See the photo for an example of a project using strung beads. COMES WITH (1) Automatic Bead spinner (2) 3 bead bowls (3) 3m of thread (4) 2 curved needles (5) 3 bead bowl lids (6) Easy to follow instructions, including instructions for four projects. Requires 2 AA-1.5V batteries, not included.

Amazon review: I have been taking a PMC jewelry class for the past two years, but was always afraid to use a torch to fire my jewelry pieces, that is until my instructor did a demo with her Blazer Micro Torch. I tried it and liked the self-igniting feature and the fact that you did not have to keep pressure on the trigger to keep it running. She suggested that I check on Amazon.com as she had gotten her torch from Amazon. I did and found it to be less expensive and got free shipping also. What a great deal. I have been using it for about one month, and I love it. I have just finished a necklace of fused pure silver links and my Blazer did all the work. I would highly recommend it to my friends.

Amazon review: I have this kit, and I have recommended it to many friends. If you want to start out with some fairly good quality tools like these, instead of the really cheapo tools that beginners often start with, you will actually have an easier time beading or learning to bead. I love the feel of these pliers and the small delicate sizes of the tips of these tools-your control and your work will be more precise and consistent - and it doesn't hurt that the case and most of the handles are purple! It's a fun color. The case helps me keep my tools neat and organized AND portable. Honestly the only tool that I would recommend to add to this kit, for anyone working with wire, would be a nice pair of flush-cutters.
Includes:
chain nose pliers, round nose pliers, side cutter,
nylon jaw flat nose pliers, crimping pliers, knot cutter, knotting tweezers
split ring tweezers, and a ScoopEEZ
Purple carrying case

Amazon review: I bought this kit after I purchased the other 9 piece jewelry kit from Beadaholique. Even though it costs a bit more, it is well worth it. These handles are way more comfortable. While I am using these the hours just fly by and I dont realize how long I have been beading for because my hands never get tired or cramped. I love these tools and I love the versatility of each piece.

Amazon Review:
Those of us who work with Polymer Clay become adept at finding new uses for old tools and at making our own molds and marking tools. I'm no exception, but having just received my Makin's Clay professional tool set, I'm impressed. The quality is excellent and the marking tools useful and interesting. I hadn't intended to use the set for making texture plates, but now that I've seen it, I've realized it will be excellent for the purpose too. Maybe this isn't a dire necessity for clay workers - but it sure is a treat! Very glad I purchased it.
