Coil Spiral Spine Crimper Pliers

Welcome to MyBinding's How-To videos. This is how to use coil crimping pliers to crimp a coil bind. First, you want to make sure the coil is threaded all the way through all the holes and hangs out on both ends. Then turn the entire project around so the bind faces you. Hold it in your hand and take the coil crimping pliers. Be sure that the little red dot on the head of the crimper is facing up. Insert the coil crimping pliers into just after the last hole all the way in, squeeze it good with one fluid motion. You'll notice that both the cut and the crimp are done nicely. For the best look, spin the coil back toward the hole and then flip the entire project over to crimp the other side. Once again, place the pliers just beyond the last hole and crimp. And that's it. Now you have a beautiful bound book with a coil bind. For more how-to, demonstration, and review videos, check out MyBind
