The handle, ergonomically designed for comfort, is where you exert pressure to operate the tool. The seat, at the base of the handle, houses the mechanism that holds and releases the beads. The paw, featuring a precision-engineered claw, is the part that picks up and securely holds individual beads, ready for setting.

Using the Cheetah Bead Seater

Operating the Cheetah Bead Seater is a cinch, much like stringing beads with a needle and thread, but with enhanced efficiency and reduced manual effort.

Start by attaching the desired beading needle (not included) to the paw. Next, thread your chosen thread or wire through the guide at the top of the handle. Spool your chosen beads onto the thread, leaving a few inches of thread extending from the first bead. Place the first bead onto the paw and squeeze the handle to pick up the next bead. Continue this process, using the tool's gentle action to string your beads at high speed and with remarkable precision.
