I seem to be able to pull the thread out of the split eye needles. Somehow I
often seem to cut the thread as I press it over the split as well.
Still, they are useful if sometimes frustrating.

Here's the way I store long extension cords. Pass the entire length of the
cord from hand to hand to be sure there are no knots or kinks. Then find
the two ends and plug them together. Grasp the cord near the plugs and hold
on to it. Then pass both strands until you find the other end. Hold
the split eye needle will not easily let the thread back out as it is a
mini lobster clasp not just a V.
i forgot about these.

Take a 6 inch piece of the thinest fishing line in the sporting shop. tie
it in a loop, and then squeeze what would be the point of the loop into a

I used to work with something called fuseable links. They were lengths of wire
that were soldered in line along a circuit. They were designed to melt at a
specific range to make sure whatever was at the end of the circuit didn't fry.
Don't know if that's what they mean or not.

Mostly it isn't all that springy but quite malleable.
When I lived in England, many of the older circuits had porcelain fuse holders,
a device with prongs which push into a slotted panel something like one of our
plugs only larger. The holder has a couple of screws, you select a length of

What is "fuse wire?"
Only thing I know called fuse wire is almost solder used in some weird equipment
as fuses.
What I've seen wouldn't be springy.

I've had one that I got somewhere about 20 years ago. I sure wish I could tell

I like the cheap little wire type on a thin metal sort of tag handle. The point
is fairly easily pushed through the eye of the needle and once through it
expands enough to fairly easily slip a loop of the thread into then pull back
through the eye. They are often available at sewing supply store

I agree with Dave's email. I have used both of

Hi,
I have used two types of needle threaders. My least favorite is the split

thread in the V and then pull down hard. It spreads the V and the thread
goes into the eye of the needle. I was always afraid that when sewing
