Members Canadian Jeff Posted November 25, 2012 Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yes. Video review it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jrockbridge Posted November 25, 2012 Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 Seems like it would be a useful tool for a reasonable price. But, if you ask around, there are a lot of things that you should already have around your house than can be used to pull knobs. For example, shoelace works pretty well for that same task.

Members HeatherAnnePeel Posted November 25, 2012 Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 I use a shoe lace. Works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jrockbridge Posted November 25, 2012 Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 Originally Posted by Doctor49 broke it off in yer hand? No. I did once break a Gibson knob using a butter knife. The knob was pretty cheap and thin. Had I known about the shoelace method at the time, it would not have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jrockbridge Posted November 25, 2012 Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 Originally Posted by Carbohydrates Ugh, friction burn. No. You simply put a strand of one shoelace on both sides of the shaft, wrap the shoelace around your hands and pull gently. It works pretty close to the way that rag does in the video above. But, the rag method looks easy enough so I'll try it next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically a girl works pretty well for me, or my hand if I'm not so fortunate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
