TECHNIQUE® ASIC HANDLE for Beading Tools

Shape round pavé beads, burnish grain settings, and seat gemstones with balanced fingertip control. The TECHNIQUE® ASIC Beading Tool Handle (#18456) is manufactured in France from sustainably harvested, PEFC-certified European beech hardwood. Specifically designed for jewelry stone setting and bead raising, this handle features a specialized half-head mushroom profile with an anti-roll planed flat side.

The flat facet prevents delicate, pre-shaped beaders and millgrain tools from rolling off slanted bench pegs or workbenches. The contoured mushroom dome nests naturally against the heel of the palm, while the turned neck provides an ergonomic grip for the index finger and thumb to rotate and guide the tool tip. Reinforced with an alloy steel collar and a calibrated brass interior insert, it accommodates standard round-shank beading tools, grain tools, and micro-burnishers.

Why Choose the TECHNIQUE® Beading Tool Handle

• Ergonomic Half-Head Palm Fit: Combines a rounded mushroom palm rest with a flattened facet, giving setters comfortable forward thrust and tactile orientation while working under stereo microscopes or bench loupes.

• Anti-Roll Bench Protection: The flat side keeps the handle stationary when set down, protecting precision beading cups from hitting the floor and dulling.

• Specialized Beading & Setting Tool Fit: Features a brass-lined center socket sized for standard round-shank beading tools, grain tools, and milgrain tools.

• PEFC-Certified French Beech Hardwood: Sourced from responsibly managed French forests, fine-grained European beech absorbs setting vibration, resists splitting, and provides an organic, tactile grip.

• Reinforced Steel Collar with Brass Sleeve: Heavy-duty metal collar encloses the mounting nose, reinforcing the grain against axial pressure and preventing wood fatigue during repetitive bead forming.

• Smooth Hand-Finished Beech: Uncoated natural wood surface absorbs light hand perspiration, preventing slippage during delicate prong and bead burnishing tasks.
