Dritz Ezy-Pull Bodkin 706
Dritz 706 is the starting choice for its ring-clamp setup. Choose the Clover clip after checking both width limits, or the two-form Clover set when your work calls for wide elastic bands and fine elastic string.123
Why this one
- Start with Dritz 706 for threading elastic or cording through a casing when the tool fits the opening. Its sliding ring tightens the toothed clamp around the elastic before you pull it through.1
The alternatives
Other contenders
Choose Clover 4001 when you need both a binding tool for fairly wide elastic bands and a tied-eye tool for fine elastic string. Tighten the binding tool’s ring around a band, or tie the fine string to the other tool’s ring.3
Clover Clip n Glide Bodkin 9582
Choose Clover 9582 for a clip attachment when your elastic is at least 5/8 inch wide and the casing opening is at least 3/4 inch. Check both limits before choosing this tool for pulling the elastic end through the casing.24
Buying advice
- For Dritz 706, open the ring, place the elastic or cord between the teeth, then slide the ring back to tighten the grip before entering the casing. The maker also recommends rounding elastic corners to help them slide through.1
