パール＆ビーズ糸通し用アウル — しっかり均一な結び目を作るラバーハンドルツール

The rubber handle gives me way more control than the bare metal awl I used before, and my knots actually sit flush against the beads now instead of floating halfway down the thread. Spent two hours stringing a necklace last night and my fingers weren't sore at all.

The fine steel point is exactly what I needed—it slides into each loose knot and nudges it flush against the bead without snagging the thread. My last two necklaces have knots sitting perfectly tight, and the rubber handle gives me a solid grip even when my hands get slick with lotion.

The fine steel point slides into a loose knot and lets me nudge it snug against the bead without fraying my silk thread. I do wish the awl were a touch longer for deep stacks of seed beads, but for standard strands it gets my knots even every time.
