Adjust your Tools

A good pair of tweezers can last you years if you take care of them right, but sometimes a little change is needed. The industry is constantly fluctuating and new tools are being designed all the time that totally switch up what we know about lashing! One of the tools that’s taking the industry by storm is the curved or hook tweezer. This tool reduces wrist strain and gives a consistent, even grip on the fan.

Adjust your Techniques

Adjust your Grip

Wrist and finger strain is huge in the lashing industry. By switching the way you are holding you tweezers, you can not only save yourself some pain, but that minor adjustment can effect how you grab your fans and can actually improve the way you create them. Tension, finger placement, and wrist movement can all effect our creation of that elusive, perfect fan!
