How to Use the Cup Chain End Loop and Connector:
Universal Fit:
All the holes on the sides of various cup chain settings, regardless of size or shape, are the same. This ensures that the end loops and cup chain connectors will fit any cup chain you use.
Choosing the Right End Loop:
If you're working with 24ss, 29ss, or 39ss settings, it’s easier to use the small 6x3 end loop. The sharp nose plier tool is perfect for gripping and placing the small end loop even in these smaller settings.
Placing the End Loop or Connector:
Hold the plier tool and gently push it down while moving it from side to side.
You will see that the end loop or connector starts to go through the hole in the setting with ease.
This simple method helps you securely attach the end loop or connector without the need for soldering, making your jewelry creation process smoother and faster.
