Where can i get such spring loaded mini hook.I couldn't find any adress in internet.I have the standard ones without spring which are i use rarely.Normally use long tweezers.The tool you loaded in your thread seems to me being practical .Thanks in advanceyou can also use Binder clips that you get at an office supply store to put weight on lines to keep them straight. There are also little "spring hooks" you can get that are good for both pulling and an end for pushing.

These are spring loaded. The hook comes out of the end when you press on the blue cap and is retracted by the spring as you release the pressure on the cap.

I found some on the Amazon web site at:Where can i get such spring loaded mini hook.I couldn't find any adress in internet.I have the standard ones without spring which are i use rarely.Normally use long tweezers.The tool you loaded in your thread seems to me being practical .Thanks in advance
Thank you for your guidance.l do have similar sets.I actually need a tool which holds the end of the thread fix till this end is brought to its final position.while using a tweezer you have yo apply force to hold the thread all the time while processing.I sometimes use surgical clamp pliers but they are to thick for the riggings leading.Rigging tools, hooks or with specially formed ends etc. i have in my toolbox but they are not that practical.Unfortunately i couldn’t find a seller in internet for these carving spring hooks in the old continent,the direct delivery cost from USA is much more than the product itself.Here is link to small clips that Model Expo sells.
Good for rigging and holding small items while glue dries.
