Q.
How is a screw type barrel clasp attached to beading wire?
- Beverly
A.
Secure Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire to the loops on a barrel clasp using crimp beads and a crimping tool. Similar metal Accu-Guard™ wire protectors and crimp bead covers can add professional finishing touches to a secure closure.

The loops on a screw-type barrel clasp will also accept jumprings, wire loops and chain links making them a very versatile style clasp.
