Q: Have just started beading and don't know a lot about any of it.for a 2mm crimp tube what size crimp cover do i need?

Crimp Cover For What Size of Crimps. The 3mm size crimp cover works best over small crimp beads and tubes including 2x2mm.The 4mm size crimp cover is best to use for covering crimps larger than 2x2mm crimp tube. I hope this helped.

Q: I'm re-stringing a wind chime, will these crimp tubes work for that purpose OK?

They should, but I'm not positive.

Q: What tool do I use to crimp these? (I don't have any so I will need to buy one) thanks!

You can use jewelry needle/ chain nose pliers but I highly recommend a crimp tool. You can buy at craft stores. There are three sizes at Michael's- mini,mighty and regular. For size 2or 3 crimes you want the regular size crimped. Many packages of crimps have info on the back that tell you crimp size to use with various wire sizes and which crimper to use.
