"I’m caught between never using these again and the convenience of having them. They do a pretty good job of making loops, but the loops aren’t closed. They do save my hands, but I ended up making my own loops on the other side of the bead, for two reasons. First, because my loops are fairly good and I don’t have to fight with my tools to get it that way (the hand grip is huge). Second, with the bead in the way, I can’t make the loop close enough to it so there is often a gap between the loop and bead, which is person choice, but not something I care for. So, for the first loop, it’s great, but I think I continue to make my own for the second loop. Not a bad product, though. Very clever."
