Hex Key or Allen Key?

4mm keys are almost exactly the same size as 5/32" which makes them the preferred size for products requiring self-assembly.

So no matter which one you have it will still do it's job perfectly.

Our Hex key fits
  • HoP Hula Hoop Fire Spokes
  • Mattress or Curved Sewing Needle?

    This is the needle we include in our DIY kits. Strong stainless steel needle with a smooth eye to prevent thread damage.

    How do you use a curved needle?

    Unlike a straight needle it is important to note that when pushing the curved needle through many layers of Kevlar® that you push in the direction of the curve entering the fabric. Failing to do so can bend the needle too much and cause it to break prematurely.

    How can i get a better grip on a curved needle?

    Thimbles are small rubber socks that fit over the end of your finger. They are available in many sizes from book stores and craft shops. Using one on the finger pushing the needle can help a lot. They are also used by people counting money, turning pages in books and flicking through paper records. Great for those that get dry finger tips and loose their grip.

    Sewing Needle
    "Bought 2 sewing needles, the hole is abit small so i'm having a hard time threading the needle because the wick thread opens up into several pieces, but the size of the needle is great."

    The only needle needed for sewing my fan heads together.
    "The strength, shape and durability of this needle is just what one needs to easily and properly sew kevlar thread, specifically for my fan wicks. I usually wear tight fitting gloves( like baseball gloves) and a thimble since pulling the thread through hurtd my bare hands, and pushing the needle through the tough kevlar material can become painful( esp with my soft massage therapist hands lol) with out the thimble. This is my 4th needle Ive purchased (since I keep losing them and pretty cheap). I havent found a product that compares to effectiveness and dexterity of this needle. qill buy again for sure!"

    Kevlar Needle
    "Purchased this curved needle for sewing kevlar onto my fire fan. It came packaged in a business card so as to not puncture anything it came in. It works very well and is flexible but sturdy"

    Best needle for sewing wicks
    "I always add one of these to my wick material orders. They work so much better than straight needles for sewing wicks on my fans. I usually use gloves to get a better grip, but have broken one of the needles before by trying to push it too hard."
