When to choose it

This QLT tool is listed in the one-and-one-quarter-inch size. Check the bead maker's installation instructions and measure the bead profile before buying a crimper. The tool is used to set the bead, so choose a separate finishing face for working the compound afterward.

The seller describes using a rubber mallet and recommends eye protection. This is the tool-only edition. Confirm the mallet and bead requirements in the instructions before setting up the job.
