What is best to squish them if I'm using the thin rolo chain? Crimp pliers or flat nosed pliers?

Thanks for all the info!

if you use palmers chain they do a special end , into this you squash the end of your chain when you decide how long you want the necklace to be, as this "end" has a hoop at the end you can add your own clasp,

Just an ordinary pair of snipe (needle) nosed pliers will do the job Kathy :)

Thanks George and FlowerJasper! I already have the rolo chain (I got it at a special price for more than 50 feet because I negociated with the seller) and have just bought the ends you suggested.
