Coil Crimpers

Welcome to MyBinding's How To videos. Today we answer the question how to use coil crimping pliers. First, you want to make sure the coil is threaded all the way through all the holes and hangs out on both ends. Then turn the entire project around so the bind faces you. Hold it in your hand and take the coil crimping pliers. Be sure that the little red dot on the head of the crimper is facing up. Insert the coil crimping pliers into just after the last hole all the way in, squeeze it good with one fluid motion. You'll notice that both the cut and the crimp are done nicely. For the best look, spin the coil back toward the hole and then flip the entire project over to crimp the other side. Once again, place the pliers just beyond the last hole and crimp. And now you have a beautiful bound book with a coil bind. And that's how to use coil crimping pliers. For more articles, demos, reviews, and how-to's on all things binding, check out MyBinding.com.
