| Beads that are metal, large or have large drill holes | *Accu-Flex®, *FireLine, Acculon® or *Tiger Tail™ |

| *This is a smooth woven type of wire that is flexible, but yet will resist cutting or breaking, and is used to string heavy crystal and metal beads. The sharp edges and heavy weight of these types of beads will cut regular threading cord. | |
