Wind a wire hook onto the machine's hook. Ideally, it will slip off the base hook and be reuseable. I had one for my yellow winder.

I'll have to figure out something before next week if I decide to try them out again. Maybe a short spring that will friction-fit onto the hook, with a smaller hook attached?

I am interested in knowing why heat shrink tubing would not do the same think & do you actually shrink the tubing or just use it as is? Also, on a related subject, I use hard plastic tubing to cut o-rings out of. I read a long time ago that the sharp edge on this type of o-ring does NOT cut the rubber. Is this still the current thinking? If not, what are you using for o-rings?
