Today’s video is the first part in a series on basic jewelry-making tools. If you’re going to make jewelry, you need chain nose pliers. I give you the details on what you want in your pliers and talk about the different shapes you’ll find.

Here are a few inexpensive options to get you started:

• Beadalon Slim Chain Nose Pliers for Jewelry Making
• Beadsmith Jeweller’s Micro Pliers Chain Nose
• Beadalon Chain Nose Pliers, Ergo Style
• Beadalon Bent Chain Nose Pliers, Ergo Style

One thing I didn’t mention in the video is that I really like the bent chain nose pliers because they help me do things at a more comfortable angle than the straight pliers. I usually reach for those first. 🙂

Enjoy the video and happy creating!
