I like Tapcraft tongs better than presses. I seem to have better control because I can lift them up to eye level while I smooshing.

The Cattwalk lentil press makes a thinner lentil than the Zooziis.

I just purchased the regular and straight sided lentil from Coonvalley. His products/service and prices rock!

I have a cattwalk press. It's thin. You'd probably like that one.
I'd rather have the fat one! LOL.

For smaller beads (3/4"), I prefer my Zoozii's Medium + Straight Sided Lentil. I got the tool that has a lentil in one side and a nugget in the other and love them both.
For bigger beads (1.25"), I prefer my Cattwalk lentil. I like the Cattwalk tools better for bigger beads because the slot for the mandrel is a little bigger and better-accommodates a dipped 3/32" mandrel. I always break/flake off the bead release on my 3/32" mandrels in my Zoozii's presses because they rub. I can use 1/16" mandrels in this tool as well, and often do, but sometimes you need a mandrel that's harder to bend.
