The other day I read a post about the easiest ways to turn tubes. Just now, I came across this little trick.

I figured this one out myself after trying many other techniques that didn't work very well. I even got desperate and bought a special tool for turning tubes and it didn't work either. This method works great! :)

Very clever! I remember that my mother would pin a safety pin in one end and work it through the tube...this looks much easier! Thanks.
