WOE Paracord Store Coming Soon! ▶ www.paracordweavers.com/ GET MY FREE EBOOK ▶ www.weaversofeternity.com/freebook Hey everyone, a huge shout-out to Murray M. for suggesting the silicone finger cots and wire cutters as recommended tools. Murray is an avid supporter on Patreon and of this channel. We're proud to have a Weaver like him!
Thanks very much for the compliments, Tim. But my suggestions / experience are not worth much without your skill and expertise in authoring and creating world class tutorials!
Thank you for letting me know that other than some more paracord, I already have these tools for other crafts & home repair that I've done. lol. I hope braiding paracord is addicting.
Klein Tools makes a pair of those fine-tip wire cutters. Product No: D275-5. Good quality and made in America. Got mine for less than $20 shipped and they are very functional for marlinspike seamanship.
Hello. Great video and VERY informative! What are you using as demos for this video? Are they keychains? I scrolled through your page but didn't see them anywhere. Please let me know. Thanks!
Yup, when doing several bracelets I was using leukoplast tape on my fingers, leather crafters and sewers are using something similar on their fingers. But it is mostly not to burn ,damage your skin from pulling the cord etc. I am personally not using it for the burnings as a use the Manny method which is not so beautiful but joining two cords better. Thanks for this useful info
I have a question i make alot of paracord braclets and every time the end comes up I’ve melted the end back down multiple times but i want it to stay down and I don’t know what to do I thought about about getting a hotter torch or maybe different brand of paracord i just dont know 😖
I understand where you are coming from. I spent a number of months trying more than 30 devices including lighters, torches, irons, electric arc lighters, and liquid fuels. I will spare you all the gory details but I finally found the perfect solution for me and probably most paracord weavers. It is a small butane fueled torch like many you have seen. It's flame can be set to a pencil thinness burning at 2300 Deg F but that is not what you will want to use most of the time. The torch has a feature not found very often on butane torches, and that feature is an air flow valve. The air flow valve is a valve which the flame in conjunction with the butane flow valve. This 2nd valve allows you to produce a precision flame from full legnth to as short as 1/4" in length. It allows me to select a finishing end which is surrounded by several other loose ends and to melt that end without melting any of the other loose ends or knots around it. The cut end can seared or melted into a ball of molten paracord which you can let dry or flatten down with a knotters tool or metal edge. The tool I use is the Iroda PT-220V whose info you can get at this link: pro-iroda.com/products/butane-torches/pt-220/ The bad news is that it is expensive (approx $85). It has great security features but can still be ignited with 1 hand and configured so it will lock itself on, therefore freeing both your hands to hold or manipulate the paracord project. PLEASE NOTE - I have no affiliation with Iroda. There may be equivalent micro torches on the market which have both a gas flow control and an air flow control. The only other ones I have found were several hundred dollars. But there may be other brands with products less than $50. But the key is having a device with an air flow control. Torches and lighters with fuel flow only produce flames which are too intense for doing precision surgery on paracord loose ends and they do a lot of collateral damage.
That was a bracelet tutorial that I didn't end up finishing because I wasn't happy with the end product. I don't remember the name of the pattern unfortunately.
I like Hobby Lobby but don't buy Hobby Tools nippers. I cut paracord with them and one of the tips broke off and hit me in the hand I'm happy it didn't hit me in the eye.

Cool..yeah the finger tips I definitely need Thanks.
I have found that USB Arc-lighters (the longer 2 prong candle/fireplace style) are really good for cutting thinner cord like micro/type 1.
Thank you for letting me know that other than some more paracord, I already have these tools for other crafts & home repair that I've done. lol.
I hope braiding paracord is addicting.
Very useful. Thank you.
Sir your all videos so amazing and wonderful ideas for all new learners.
@E L M A jeez
I recently picked up the silicone cots recently... FINGER SAVERS plain and simple.
Thanks for the tips Tim
I would like a video where you talk about all the tools you use and recommend as well as that case you use to store them
I've already done a video about that here: ua-cam.com/video/3pwNmME-IAM/v-deo.html
I plan to start paracording. I ordered paracords and I'm excited to make my first bracelet out of it.
Thanks for the flush cutter idea I found some at Harbor Fright for 3.99 They work great!
Yes I like to see a review on that Kool soldering gun
That iroda blade looks useful.
Really nice tools 👍. Thanks, Tim ✊

That's a great point and something I forgot to mention too, thanks for pointing that out!
Pruning shears work also.
Silicone finger cots- Best addition to tools
