I've had the Netcraft tool for years but actually only tried using it recently. After a few false starts, I got the hang of it. The instructions on making an eye were a bit tough to follow but I finally managed. Not until after I realized I missed the first page of the instructions and didn't put the 90 degree bend in the wire. I wanted to make some simple inline spinners and I had a lot of fun making a few with the Tack-L tool.
