Shared grommet aid tool.

We need one made from one of those memory metals where when you heat it back up it returns to the shape it was set in.

Recieved my aliexpress order. Yeah really easy to pull through. Only downside after pulling through it gets bent sometimes and have to snip it off when it gets tricky pushing through the other grommets.

snipping it is still way easier than messing with a sometimes stubborn shared hole. i always use a threader now.

If you’re into DIY, you can try using a slightly thicker steel wire, like 0.2mm — it may be more durable. A 0.1mm steel wire also works well if you control the pulling force; it's thin enough to slide smoothly through the holes.

Just make sure to use cutting wire for phone screen repair — this type of steel wire is not only hard to break but also very affordable.

Very cool.

In addition, I want to thank you for your PicoBETH and upcoming ZeroBETH projects. They are very inspiring.

Thank you very much for your encouragement!

The complete build guide for ZeroBETH is now available. Although it’s still a preview version, it has been tested over 100,000 times without any issues. I plan to continue improving the software as time allows.

In addition, I’m also planning to develop some stringing-related auxiliary tools, and I’ll create videos to share the full process when they’re ready.

Thanks for sharing.

I did have at home the tool to pull the thread through the needle hole. Unfortunately they do not last, after a few pulls the wire broke.

I did a search in Amazon, for phone screen repair wire as per your indication but the maximum thickness I could find is 0.1mm for 10m. For a few dollars it is quite worthwhile.
 
Yes since joining the forum, i have had trouble with the shared hole issue too. Then I found this little gem, and have since bought the 30 pack from the A to Z company for $3.99. Thanks for posting, it has made stringing the shared hole so easy and simple. I even bought some syringes to use the hollow needle to make a tunnel but this works much better.

wait ur using blunt needles????
 
@what07,yes, blunt needles… my day job is being an acupuncturist, besides I like thinking outside the box. That being said I thought I would give it a try, why not the blunt end of a syringe? It seemed nice, a thin, hollow metal tube. Strong enough to push into the grommet, and it’s hollow to accept the string. We actually use a guide tube, same principle when inserting needles into people. But I found it bit cumbersome, as i had to use an awl to get the syringe through, then have it stay by pulling out the awl, then pushing the string through the needle.

Then I found this forum, BC, and looked through old posts and found the needle stringer. Perfect for those shared grommets. Which then brought me back to ‘home economics’ in Jr. high school, where we learned how to sew by hand and threading a needle with said tool. Genius! Brilliant, just a different type of “thread”. Sorry forgot who put up the idea here. But kudos to you.

definitely worth trying based on cost/time factor.

i see a package of those threaders on amazon for $0.08/piece. even if it only holds up for 1 racket it's worth it for the time/effort saved.

Same here. I've been using them for probably a year now and they are so good. I get a good few rackets out of each one, but they are so cheap I'm not worried about the cost.
