The tool that I tell you about today is called split ring pliers. If you must use split rings in your jewelry making, then you really need this tool to help you manage them.
In fact, as I show in the video I also found the tool useful for opening another type of split ring: a key-chain ring. You can use split ring pliers to put keys or other things on your key-chain and not break fingernails in the process. 🙂
I mentioned in the video that I have a love/hate relationship with split rings. It’s only because they’re just such a pain to put on, but I do really like the security that they give.
Enjoy the video and happy creating!
You can watch the Friday Findings-Split Ring Pliers video over at YouTube.
YES I NEED THAT.
Honestly, I never thought of using it that way until I pulled out the key ring for demonstration. 😀
