Sometimes have to wonder about FT products

Just came across this by accident

www.fasttech.com/products/1/10014951/2702401-authentic-ud-130mm-precision-cotton-pick-hook-for

Now to my cash tight mind, down the poundshop, buy sewing set, find biggest needle, heat with blow torch you must have if a rewicker, bend tip using pliers or vice, stuff blunt end into a wooden dowel, for the other end find next biggest needle in set, no heating just stuff pointed end in another dowel. There you go same awnser £1 if you got dowels, £2 if you buy them same shop, you end up with £2.52 towards your next Provari, and you got stuff left over for DIY and sewing.

As I couldn't figure out what it was, I figured I didn't need one. I now have £4.52 towards my first Provari.

Because saw matey on youtube use it one of his videos... you know the guy who puts wires in holes with immaculate precision... now it;s a must have,

Price little to do with FT and everything to do with UD I suppose.

[buggritt]

The biggest anomaly on FT is the price of Kanthal. Cheaper to buy it here. The internet in general is not always the be all and end all of shopping. It caters to the busy/lazy.

I've ordered four, spares for spares, you guys taught me that.

Saw that too, almost added it to the shopping basket as a grand idea but when compared to the cost of 3-4inches of .4mm wire to do the same job, i came to my senses.. !0/10 for effort to fasttech

Or a nail.

Or a jeweller's needle in orange so you don't lose it (I have two )
