My crocodile clips arrived today and they appear to be the right ones

Those are the clips I have Julie, I did find them too small for a 2.4mm mandrel and slightly too big for a 2mm mandrel so i ended up taping mine on after  crimping it down.

Ordered my studs, one of the shops i stock got excited about the idea of studs so can't wait to get cracking and playing with design ideas.

Did you buy your clips from the same listing, Scarlet?  Mine fit perfectly on a 4mm mandrel, just enough tension to stay put and slide off easily.

Thanks for this - was trying to work out which to buy

I'm guessing up to 1 kilo may be what they have as the smallest postage band?

Fiona, I want some things too - anyone interested in a combined order to save shipping?

I woul just lik some studs, if you are doing a combined order please.

I don't have any 4mm mandrels, do we have a source of where to get ones that would fit 2.4mm mandrels?
Or somewhere that stocks 4mm mandrels  xx

I've had mine ages julie, just got them in the local market.

Odd as they have the same number of teeth and the larger ones tend to have more teeth, maybe mine have different bits on the end.

Helen, Mango Beads have 4mm mandrels.

I bet the croc clip guy on Ebay is wondering what hit him, they're flying out the door

That's a brilliant idea.....thanks for doing the video, Verena.  

I have ordered 50 pairs of studs, so I will have 3 sets of 10 pairs spare, if anyone is interested in buying them.....just send me a PM.  



All gone now!

As I was asked in a german forum whether or not to put the croc clips in the kiln too: no. This will ruin the spring in the clip quickly.

He won't combine postage though if you order more than one set (which I did) which seemed a bit daft as he ended up sending them out in sperate envelopes with more postage and costs.  I've 3.2 mandrels so will get creative getting these to stay on. Somehow.
