I have one of these in my toolbox for its intended use, but the other day it dawned on me that this would be perfect for picking axle knots and not destroying anno, and I’ll be dipped, I was right. It’s SUPER handy having the hook to dig right into the knot. They are available all over, not just from the jungle warehouse

a 0.5mm tip mechanical pencil also works great

Those look great. How strong are they? I always seems to have axle knots that bend or break anything plastic. Stringbuddyseth designed something really nice that won’t bend and though I guess it could scratch ano, he rounds the point off to reduce that possibility.

I have a throw key, but I often misplace it and wind up using tooth picks and plastic spudgers. This looks awesome.

Paper clip with the end bent out. I have a magnet on the fridge where it resides. Simple and accessible.

I use a shish kabob skewer. Works great!
did none of you use a tweezers?
I just get extra toothpicks from restaurants with the fun little flag end and wrap some old yoyostring around em and use those. 10/10 would recommend

You convinced me, I just bought a pair, they’ll be here tomorrow! Thanks for sharing! I have been using some very well made tweezers but these look like a much better tool for the job and I won’t have to worry about scratches.

Cheap, won’t scratch, and enough that you can afford to always misplace them
