Was playin around with an idea I was given at plugfest .Using the trims from through wires tha we cut off to make tags for our plugs.first thing i found was that you needed a bit over 2 in of cut off wire to make the twists needed to make a tag. Just use your round end pliers to twist the wire in a loop with a 1 in tag.
This is an idea I swapped for so the credit goes to who-ever I swapped the jointed needle with.
If the cut off is 3 in long you can twist it up like a split ring and take the tag on an off when ever you need.I made up around 30 tonight and let me say it's a sweet idea especially for those who don't want to use a tail hook on their plugs.One thing i did learn is that you want to make your vuts to the wire at an angle so the split ring idea works best.
who ever it was that I swapped with please chime in on this post as you have a sweet idea an deserve the credit for it. Thanks much Ron
