Flat Nose Pliers
The flat nose pliers also referred to as chain nose pliers is also probably the most frequently employed tools. They could be used for mostly anything that you'll require as well as holding your bits together and opening your chain links.

It's always best to make investments into a good quality tool that is perfect for beading and jewelry creation than going to a hardware store and buying standard working tools. These resources will not be as powerful as the actual beading resources.
