Default Stainless neckwires- will they fit?

Has anyone used these stainless neckwires from FMG? Will they fit through a 3/32 hole? Thanks!

It says "Clasp will fit through a bead with a 2.5mm hole size" I have a really old chart that says 2mm translates to 3/32" so I think 2.5mm would easily fit?

They will fit through a 3/32 hole easily. I use 5/64 mandrels and they fit perfectly. These wires are great for quick, simple necklaces.

I too use these also use these for my beads and there is no problem getting them on. I think it is an easy sell for customers to walk away with a bead and ready to wear necklace at an affordable price.
