No More Broken Spools, Wild Wire, or Kinked Ends!
Accu-Flex is now available on flexible "Huggy Spools" that open just like the fiber bobbins: turn it upside down; hold the outer edges with your finger tips, and push the center down with your thumbs and the bottom flexes open to reveal the wire. Cut off the length desired, wrap the leftover wire on the center of the spool and flex the bobbin closed again. Gently push the cut end under the lip to secure, no more kinked ends by placing the wire in the slot on the old spools, no more broken spool keepers either! See the new spools at your local shop or Order online at: www.firemountaingems.com |
