I know they are good, in my view the best but this is a bit rich:

I believe you get some free hair stops Nick..... Every cloud and all that.

Piffle!

 

I got hundreds of free hair stops when I used to service fire extinguishers, enough to last a life time

I seem to recall sellers doing this when they are "out of stock" because it saves them having to go through the agro of "re-listing" when they get some more.

I use those and they are great.

I managed to break one last week, (I always have 2 just in case), pulling a hair loop knot through a wooden ball, not bad life, must be around 4years old, and well used.

It was only because I needed a new one I went searching on ebay. Mind you I did buy one from a cheaper seller with free carriage

I've got about four of the smaller ones and one of the larger ones. Much better in the bright green rather than black because they are harder to lose. But it doesn't stop me losing them (usually to my daughters tackle box)

I too use these , but you have to make sure the little hook at the end is the right way up , not facing down to your thumb

I'm in need of new ones, I've lost both my fox one's, I prefer it to be a fine needle with a hook rather than the latch type. 

Any preferences??

I still prefer these, no latch on them. 

 

Reminds me, I must get a new one, I broke one last trip. I do prefer the black though.

they could at least provide Fast and Free postage, 🙄

[framey]

I got one with no plastic left on it so it is now just a triangle with a pointy bit on the end 

must be wortha fortune as its unique lol

 

i use a couple of darning needles. come in handy for lots of things 

[dayvid]

They also do a longer version , which I use most of the time now

Had a right result! 

I even said to the girl in the shop, it must be the cheapest item in the shop & then explained how much profit they could make selling them on the bay. 😂
