Pros & Cons
Cons
When they flatten out instead of round, they are very frail and easily break off. Many of the tubes have "tails" and aren't smooth. The opening is too small for threading two.
Highlights
Quality
Works perfect, you get a ball shaped crimp that doesn't break when you are shaping it
These magic crimps are tiny 2mm tubes that with some effort become neat tiny orbs.
They grip tightly and don't slide-if applied properly.
The gun metal tubes seem more brittle and harder to compress.
Price
These are a great price for a variety of colors.
Buy the crimps, buy the fiddly crimp covers, buy the pricey crimp pliers—enough!
Competitiveness
If you prefer crimp tubes instead of beads, i haven’t found a better brand than these as yet.

Just mind that using the purple handled pliers takes a strong grip and doing multiple crimps can take its toll
