Short for me!
I think I would like to mix it up- different projects require different tools I don't have many so I hope I win!
I use both long and short tools. For my regular jewelry making I use short because I have such short hands. For Chainmaille I prefer using long handled tools.
I do prefer long handles. I get better results and have more control.
I prefer short handles - much easier to control :)
I am going to say short handles.
I like the shorter handles, because I have small hands. I feel I have more control with them.
I prefer long because they seem more ergonomic :)
Being a male with long slender fingers, I prefer long handled tools. I have more control and greater dexterity using them.
I prefer the short handle since I have small hands.
Short handle tools are for my small hands.. I started with regular handled tools.. now I only look for shorter handles..
The long handles are most comfortable for me.
I think the short handles suit me best. Thank you for such a brilliant giveaway!

Long would be nice!
Not sure which think short size.
Ooh, I was just looking at those flush cutters! I think I would like shorter handles, being I have smaller hands, but I'd take anything if I won!
Long handles, please!
Just starting up, so have no tools to judge from; but have big hands, so guess long handled would be best! :-)
I generally prefer short handles.
Ooh cool new tools! I'd prefer short handles as they fit in my tool box better :) Thanks!
I have the short ones and they're one of my favorite tools. I've had them resharpened and "tuned up" twice. That's a great service for just $10!
I prefer long handles myself
I'm not a choosey beggar! I'll work with long or short!
These have been on my wish list for some time. To win them would be a dream. Like the leverage of short handles over long.
Oh, I would like to win these professional Tronex tools. I think the short handles would fit better with my hands. I never tried long handles as I assume they might be heavier and less comfortable. But I don't know.
I like longer handles

The short handles would work best for us. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to enter!!! Hope I did Instagram correctly!! :)

I prefer short handles.
I like long handled tools.
I love the loooong handles, they fit my hand like a glove when I tried them out at a bead show!
I have used both long and short...either is great...it's like trying to choose which one of my kids I like better...
I prefer the short handle but would love to win either one. I have a pair of tronex flush cutters and absolutely love them.
SHORT handles!!! Hope I can still enter since I'm in Canada!
I would be interested in long handled tools.
I prefer a long handle. It gives me more leverage and doesn't cut into my palm.
Either is fine. :)
As long as the tools have cushioned handles, I prefer the short handled ones. I feel I have more control with them. If they're not cushioned, they end up irritating the palm of my hand.
I love the long handles.
I would like short handles please.
I would love to win the long handle tool set! Got my fingers double crossed!
I'm new to jewelry making but I really do prefer short handed tools. Thank y'all for this chance
I prefer the long handles on tools, even with my small hands as it allows me the space the hold the tool differently depending on what I'm working on.
I prefer the short handles, I feel like I'm in better control of what I am doing :)
Short. I have freakishly small child hands...so I'm all about the short handles. I use both, but prefer short.
Preference is short handles.

Depends on the job. Perhaps short
would be good for repetive motion.
Short handles would be good for me. Thank you for this chance.

I prefer the long handles tools please. 😊
I prefer the short handle tools but would like to give the long handle ones a try
I'm new to jewellery making so haven't developed a preference yet. If I were to guess, though, I think I would choose the SHORT handled ones for my adult-but-kid-sized hands. Thanks for the opportunity!

Short handles, can get into smaller spaces.
Sharon
Short handles, please, they make for getting into tight spaces easier, thanks.
Sharon
I prefer the short handled tools, but would use either. Hoping, hoping, hoping.!
I prefer short handles - I have very small hands and long handles just get in my way. Thank you for this chance!
My hands are small with long fingers. But, have no idea if long or short-handled Tronex tools would be the best for me. I have some short-handled pliers and cutters and some long-handled pliers and cutters. Frankly, I would leave it up to the Tronex experts to help me make a wise decision. I've never had any Tronex tools and can only imagine how wonderful that would be.
I've never had any long-handled jewelry tools but I'm sure they would fit my hands better. I would be grateful for either long or short. :)
Love Beaducation!
Bonnie
Wow! What a great giveaway, Tronex tools! I have used both long and short handled tools. But I would have to say that I have a slight preference for short handled tools. Either way, winning a set of these tools would be wonderful! Thanks for the chance to enter the contest!
I would love to win! My preference is long handled tools. Tronex pliers have been on my wish list forever!
I would love to win the long handle tronex tools!!
Prefer the long handles!
I use short handles and would work with those the best :)
I prefer long handels, more ergonomic for painfull hands that still want to be creative.
I've never used short handled tools, but would love to try them out.
Long handled for sure! I just bought a pair of the bent nose pliers and I am in love!
The long handles are wonderful!
Long handles would work best with my big hands
Love the giveaways! Thank you. Due to my teeny-tiny hands, I use short handled. :)
Love Long Handles.
Short handles please. I have tiny hands lol.
I prefer the shorter handles as they sort of nestle in my hand and I don't have to fight the longer handles.
I have short handles right now, and find sometimes that I get blister spots if I am doing a lot of work. I would love to try longer handles to see if they are easier to work with!!
Wow, nice. I would probably prefer long handles.
I use both long and short handled pliers, i tend to use longer handled pliers when working with thicker wire.
It has been interesting reading all the comments about choice of handle length. I would prefer long handles so they don't dig into my palms.

I prefer long handles on my tools :)
I love longer handled tools but the short handled tools are often most useful, for certain projects.
I much prefer short handles.
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I think I have only used short. I buy what fits my hand. Thank you :)
Short
I prefer long.
I would love to get my big hands on some long handles. :)
long handles! they fit my hand best :-)
I would be happy with either handle. I currently don't have Tronex tools and have always wants to own the cutters.
Short ones for me. I have small hands. My Bead Smith ones are worn out and I need these. Thanks for the chance to win.
Long handles - I think they give me more control.
I've only used short. Would enjoy trying the long!
I don't really have a preference. Short handles store easier; but, long handles are nice too. :-)
I prefer long handles plus love the colors what morr can you ask
I would like long handles. Thanks.
I have arthritic hands and fingers but plan to keep making jewelry until I no longer am able. Using really good tools like these makes the job much easier for me, and while I have been using short handles, I think long handles would be easier on fingers that don't work so well. I would be very grateful if i won these tools.
Short handles,definitely! I use a mix of hardware store (made for men!) and regular jewelry tools. The short handle would fit my small hands so much better!
I prefer long handled not only for ease of use but for storing on my tool hanger. I've always wanted Tronex tools!
I prefer long handles. These would be great.
long handles give leverage and allow for different hand positions so hands don't get as fatigued
I am not picky at all! Free is free, no matter what it is!
I would need the short handles because I have smaller hands and it is easier for me to use them.
LONG or SHORT handle - I use both and have no real preference. It's whatever I grab works...
I hope I'm not posting twice. I have no idea which one I prefer. I just use the ones that are available thru retail. So either one would be fine. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love both, it just depend that type of project and materials am using. I <3 Tronex :)
I actually find being left-handed can make using tools a bit tricky at times. Using short handles are definitely better for me - they give me more control :)
I prefer the short, I guess, but any Tronex tool feels great in my hands!
would love to try the short handles to see how they compare to the long handles
Short handles, please
I prefer long handle for frequent repetitious tasks or tasks requiring more leverage/strength. Otherwise the short handles work well. Love my Tronex 5222's. Would definately like to try Tronex long handles.

I like long handles and hope I win. the tools look awesome.
I really prefer the short handles, since I feel I get better control. But, with neuropathy that affects my hands, some days the long handles are a necessity.
I would prefer long, but short is OK, too. Thank you for this opportunity to win these quality tools!!!
I prefer long handles...I have big hands!

Hi there, I just started to make my own jewelry, and of course fell in love with jewelry making, I bought pliers from my local big box store, they are not the best, I can tell they wont last very long, so I started looking for some better pliers and of course found your courses on youtube, and this awesome give away opportunity to have better pliers for some one that is just starting out in the new craft.
I've never used long handles, but I'm really happy and comfortable with short handles so they are my current choice by default.
My hands are pretty small, so I'd say short. Although, I'm not too picky :)
Hello! I would gladly accept short or long Tronex tools. Thanks for the possibility! Betsi

Just checked out their website, I am really excited. Short handles would be fine with me. Thanks for sharing.

I prefer short handles. And, I love Tronex tools!
Great tools, great blog, so many things to create, so little time. I prefer long handle, but use both depending on what I am working on. Just this morning created a beaded wire bouquet pendant and a trible drop prendant. I love tools, wire, beads, enamel and oh so much more. Thank you for being part of my world
I am disabled recently (and way too young to be disabled) and getting used to spending a LOT if time by myself and my dog baby. If my name is chosen I would like a set with short handles. I think a good set of tools would help me get more use out of my hands!
Short handle would be best for my toolbox but I would be happy with long handled if that was all there was.
I'm thinking short might be easier for my small hands to use and because they're easier to control. I love Beaducation for providing all the class tutorials and carrying all the supplies needed to make the jewelry. Thank you Sandie

I prefer long handles.
I think short handles, not really sure, but I think they would fit better in my hands
I don't have a preference but I think I might have a better grip with short handled tools
Like a lot of people, I'm unsure as to whether I prefer long or short handles. But, when given a choice, I think long handles would be great!
No preference, am in dire need of new tools.......
I prefer the short handles. They are much easier for me to hold. I have a few Tronex tools and really like them. They were recommended by an experienced beader. Luckily I was able to try them and then had to have my own.
Omg! You guys have literally saved my life!
I have been struggling with so much these past couple of years..
#1 hurricane sandy really took a toll on my life losing so much however I took the bull by its horns and started cooking for about 40 people everyday by myself from a hotel. Just to keep busy and my sanity...
#2 After 6 months of that we finally were able to get back on the island and try to put our lives back together ...
#3 Before during and after that I have suffered the Losses of my Mom and my Father In law then my Husband of 34 yrs...also a lot of others who I met during the hurricane... but the one that was really unexpected was my husband :( its been around 13 months .
So I tried so hard to engage in other things because it was just so over whelming and i was just existing...
I'm so sorry for posting this but I really needed to let you know that I am thankful& Grateful for your online classes because without them I don't know how much longer I could stand trying to overcome so much!
I have finally found an outlet to try to start living again .
I have learned a lot from you guys and have fun making stuff I'm still a newbie at this ..
I have bought a set from a few diff places and they broke quickly.
I couldn't believe it ! financially I just cant afford the good ones yet but I hope there still time entering so late.
Thanks so much for the Great videos you put online on youtube because I truly enjoy them...
I cant wait to show you some things when they are done I'm using found copper and other wires I have purchased slowly getting a collection of things
. I have a few nice pieces just awaiting a good pair of flush cutters don't want to ruin them ..
Anyway again sorry for such a long post my first blog comment just want to tell you .
p.s. I prefer short ones but can use any ones at this point!
Thanks for the opportunity and looking forward to keep learning
from you.
This really has helped me plus others that may have same situations as me ...:)

I like short handles! Love your site! Great videos!!!
Winning ANYTHING from Beaducation would be awesome - but in reference to tools, as I have MS smaller tools are the easiest since my hands don't always cooperate as I need them to. Thanks for the support you give all of us "arteests" and assisting us with our creative juju.
I like both short and long handled tools but seem to be more comfortable and successful with short handled tools. Thanks, Debi
