End cutters work fine

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I use a metal cutting bladeon my dremal, the space it leaves is just enough to slip over the swivel, I then use a pair of needle nose vise grips to gently squeeze both ends together, this distorts the hook minimumly, then as a precaution (mostly to keep from corroding) I solder the "cut" with a drop of rosin core solder, the solder wont stick to the plating... but , it will stick to the fresh cut....

I do most of my needles this way..
