I also thought of lobster forks when I first saw the tools but after doing a hands on demo with her there are subtle differences. Not so much the fork end as the beveled "smoothing end".
Kind of reminds me of a diy substitute for needlepunch threaders...sounds good but the beading wire acts different (kinks really easy) than the actual manufacturer threaders. It is different wire in my opinion. DIY doesn't always work. Just my thoughts.
