QuoteReplyTopic: $2 hair pulling hook at Joann’s Posted: June 27 2005 at 8:10am
yeah your probably right the latch hook is bigger. But Im thinking the snag pulling needle might be a little small for hair extension purposes, dont ya think? I dont use them anyway, I use the floss threader loop. And as soon as I place another shrinkie order with amm, Im going to get one of those threader tools she has.
Nah, Sherrie, the latch hook tools for pulling rugs are way bigger - I've been looking! Same concept though- I've been aware of them for a long time, having been a life long crafter. I was sure something like this must be out there somewhere, but I stumbled onto these quite by accident. This fellow is made for pulling snags in sweaters back through. Which is quite clever on it's own, lol.

the pulling tool is just a latch hook. They are common in craft stores, they are also used for making latch hook rugs. So if you just ask for a latch hook at a craft store you should be able to get them!
doc once said she saw one at a craft store, and microlinks BEFORE SHE WAS SELLING THEM. i was looking at old posts on the ezboard/quinns, i should have bumped it when i saw it..... it was a long time ago i saw it and it was WICKED OLD THEN!!!!
you can totally save if you can find the stuff. i bet if one of us BROUGHT our little hair puller from doc locks or the like to joann's, etcand asked an associate they would be able to show us one!!!!
I saw this at my local Joann's while looking through the sewing notions. It has exactly the same latch hook end as my hair pulling tool that I had to buy online (around the med. size, I guess) for around a buck sixty, plus tax. Doesn't have the long handle the pro ones do, but I know some of you put a beating on them and go through them pretty fast.
Just a heads up.
edited to say: these would probably work well, too:
