Gardner Tackle Tube Threader

good product

Great

Quick service would use again

I am very please with this and would recommend this.

when i first saw this item i thought all my dreams had came true, no more wasted time on the bank threading tubing, in the rain, with cold wet hands, even on a lovely sunny day in perfect conditions its hard enough to do, so i bought one right away, super fast delivery, and it looks great! HOWEVER..... i use korda anti tangle rig tubing which is 0.75 mm diameter, it took me 5 minutes to get the tube threader an inch into the tubing so in the end i gave up! even after getting the forceps and pinching the threader to make it slimmer!so check that the tubing you are using, or are going to use is larger than the 0.75 mm YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED HA HA!!!

After reading the other review I will suggest he cuts off the stud on ed of threader this will allow the threader to go through the tubing

Just a little tip for new users of this. I found it very difficult to thread the looped end through Korda Dark Matter tungsten tube. It occurred to me that pulling the loop through would be easier so I cut the tag off the other end. The wire is very springy and will undo if left alone so I heated it to soften it and twisted it back much in the same way you would when tying a pike trace and that stopped it undoing. Worked a treat, 20 inches of tube threaded in about 3 minutes. Certainly takes the strain and frustration out of trying to thread tube. Hope this helps.

cut tag off...where wires cross....file with a hook sharpener or witch i use my wife's micro peti for hard skinblunt wire....dip end in a small drop of super glue....when dry file down so it's smooth....works a treat...hope this might help
