I have to ask having seen knit pickers aka hook and latch tools at hobby and linen shops, have you ever actualy spliced 20 or 30 lbs dacron backing line before. Ive spliced hundreds of lines and looped them for backing and it takes a much smaller tool than what Ive ever seen at a hobby shop. I will however take another look just in case.
