My humble loop turners got an upgrade to beaded handles
I found it useful to remove the fiddly little latch that was on the hooked end. I just grabbed the latch with some needle nosed pliers and twisted until the latch popped out. Now it doesn't bind up on the silver cores of my glass beads.
The loop turners started out their life as an inexpensive sewing notion. I had the large loops cut off and I superglued on some decorative beads instead.
When the turners are loaded with a bead combination and the hooks are interlinked, it's possible to easily move beads from one turner to the other, replacing or adding beads anywhere along the length. The hook will also engage the small eyelet of a chain so that a whole combination can be loaded on a chain quickly and conveniently.
