wow different...i use a small not really pliers but looks like something a doctor would use with bent tip and spring loaded handle used for pulling thread through after sewing up a cut.. i got it at a gun show for a couple dollare and it works great

I really LOVE that tool would like to try it because I can relate to having trouble pulling the needle through the material.

I happen to like my needle nose pliers to pull the needle through.........LOL

Forgot to mention, sometimes I just use the little tub of stuff you buy for sorting papers (instead of licking your finger). It's non-toxic and sold at office supply stores. Gives just enough grip on the needle to pull it through, but it's not sticky.

I like the way it looks come on ladies $12 isnt much if it helps out your fingers, think it will be great or my mom ho has crippling hands and has alot of trouble.

Found i another place little cheaper but don'tknoe company.

How neat I want one

It is a needle puller, maybe handy if quilting in thick fabric/batting.

Wow that is cool!!!

I don't know what it's called but would like to have one. I use a round rubber thing to grasp the needle and pull it through, which works ok too.
