IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED A BEAD KIT, AND ALREADY OWN A CRIMPER (POINTY NOSED PLIERS), CUTTER  AND A BEAD BOARD, THEN JUST PURCHASE   K 24, K 25 OR K 26, THESE THREE KITS STILL HAVE FULL INSTRUCTIONS BUT NO BEAD BOARD, NO CRIMPERS ( POINTY NOSED PLIERS) AND NO CUTTERS.  PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO SAVE MONEY THINKING YOU CAN GET AROUND NOT HAVING THE BEAD BOARD, CRIMPERS AND CUTTERS, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ESSENTIAL ITEMS YOU  NEED TO MASTER THE ART OF BEADING. 

Please note, you can make do with using whatever tools you have at home,BUT YOU WILL NEVER PRODUCE TRULY PROFESSIONAL WORK UNTIL YOU START USING THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL ITEMS.  1/. Good cutters, we usually use a Japanese brand, they seem to be very efficient and provided you look after them, (all tools with regular spraying with a lubricant e.g. WD40 or Selleys RP7 , only using them to cut tiger tail or thin wires, for Memory wire,  head pins and eye pins we use special memory wire cutters ) they will give you many years of good service.  2/. We usually teach crimping using only pointy nosed pliers, you may progress to the more expensive crimpers once you have mastered the art of beading, if you start off with these crimpers sometimes you will become very flustered.  3/. To save time and to be more accurate with measuring a bead board is essential, you can start off without one we had to because they weren't readily available then, but once you start to use one it is great!  4/. When you are ready to work with memory wire, head pins or eye pins MEMORY WIRE CUTTERS ARE ESSENTIAL as they are built to handle these very thick wires.
