Magical Crimper by The BeadSmith

The Magical Crimper transforms 2 x 2 mm tube crimps into a round, secure, attractive crimp bead to incorporate into your jewelry designs. There are two versions to choose from: the original purple handle tool (#PL950-ORIG) works with 0.020" Flex-Rite® and the green handle version (#PL940) works with 0.018" Flex-Rite®. For a list of additional compatible flex wire brands and sizes, visit www.beadsmith.com/magicalcrimper.
The BeadSmith has also developed 2 x 2 mm base metal tube crimps that work with the Magical Crimp Forming Tools. These crimps come in Silver Plate, Gold Plate, Copper Plate and Gun Metal Plate. They are an economic alternative to Sterling Silver and Gold-Filled tube crimps.

It seems that the crimp is only holding the wire at either end. The traditional way of crimping holds the wire the entire length of the crimp. Unless there is something that I don't understand, I don't see the benefit of this because it looks less reliable. It is pretty and saves on crimp covers.

so it only does 2mm crimp tubes. Not the 1mm or 3mm? And if your using thinner wire under .018 it won't work at all?

The Magical Crimper was designed specifically to work with 2mm x 2mm tubular crimps.
The following brand diameters are tested and work:
Flex-Rite: .020"
Beadalon: .018"
Soft Flex: .019"
If you use a narrower diameter your crimp may not be secure.
