"These are the best. I could tell the difference as soon as I tried them. I had bought a set of pliers that were supposed to work for "Magic Findings", but didn't, from another site. I ruined several findings trying to get it to work. Then I bought these, and I'll never get the others again! They worked right the first time, and I was able to finish my project with no problems."

"This tool and its findings make great clean and secure multi strand designs with the Magic Finding.
It took me a little bit to perfect the technique on how to use the Omega Insert, but once i figured it out it also worked well as a conector... The key to using the Omega Insert is to always press and hold the insert inwards when you crimp, so that it does not slip out."

Steep learning curve

Pros: Unique
Cons: Ease of Use, Size
Creation: Tried to create a necklace
"This is such a great idea but it's really hard to use. The "legs" of the omega insert just barely go through the finding, so they pop out really easily as you're crimping. What that usually means is you have to cut your piece apart and start all over again with new findings and new omega inserts.
This probably works very well if you don't use the omega insert, because the finding does hold the stringing material very tightly and the crimped finding looks really nice. But after having to restring several pieces to get it to work right with the omega insert, I've given up on using it."

"I really like the Magic Finding. I read about it in a magazine and was excited - I had been looking for something like this to make multi-stranding easier. The crimp takes many strands and holds them in place. Then when you actually crimp it, it ends up looking like a simple ball shaped bead. And the inserts look cleaner than a wire guard in terms of design. Bravo to whoever came up with this idea!"
