What kind of tools do you use to turn narrow tubes, such as straps? My "go to" tool is the hemostat. It lets me reach way down into the tube and grab a section, then pull. It works really well. But I'm wondering . . . what else is out there that works just as well?Sometimes I also use the hemostat to pull things like elastic through a casing. If the casing is long however, I use the safety pin method: attach a large safety pin to the end of the elastic and pull/push it through by feeling for the pin through the casing fabric.
I've never thought of a hemostat. I use an afghan hook and safety pin.
