PARACORD PLANET 10 Inch Professional Jig with Multi-Monkey Fist Jig

I have tried a couple Paracord jigs in the past, and this one is my least favorite. Here's my reasoning:1. On the adjustable end, the is one bolt with a wing nut that when loosened allows you to slide the item to the desired length. However, unless you really torque the wing nut down, it can still slide a bit, and even rotate (bolt is centered on the unit allowing it to spin.2. It would be nice if the mounts were raised up a bit, as this would give you more room to work and loop underneath, use hemostats or fids.3. The bolts in the unit stick out of the bottom, so when placed on a flat surface the unit wobbles. Further, don't put the unit down on anything you don't want to scratch (desk, countertop, etc), as wight he bolts exposed and on that surface, they will scratch it. Simply adding some stand off rubber feet, or something similar would have fixed this.

Purchased this just after Christmas. Was impressed with how fast it came.As for the jig itself. The look of it is pretty cheap. The wood holds up but looks cheap. The buckles included are the cheap ones (which do not connect with the smoother versions). So if you use those, you have to swap them out (which is easy to do). My biggest grip with the jig is the sliding end. After a few uses (no matter how tight I had it) the block would shift. Either up (losing the length) or it would turn to the left (the majority of bracelets I do are 5/8 or higher buckles). That would in turn make have to start over or try to fix the knot(s).I mainly use the monkey fist jig. I use 3/4 and 1 inch ball bearings with it. The 3/4 is a little tough if you do more than a 4 turn (and even at 4 turns it bunches up on the dowels).Overall it's an ok jig. I suggest it for someone who is just started off tying or does it as a hobby. Otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Plenty of videos on YouTube showing the steps and what you need. I myself learned the hard way with purchasing this and then making one myself. But it did give me the idea of what I needed in a jig.

No instructions, whatsoever, are supplied with this product. There are no feet on the bottom of the jig; the two carriage bolt heads project from the bottom and that is what the Jig rests on, causing it to rock on the bolt heads and slide all over the place. It is really a poor design, not very well thought out. There are better similar products available - check them out on YouTube before you buy.

Not actually the jig I wanted the top plate is hard to lock into place making it hard to apply tension on the Paracord in a six strand weave. It works but there is always a slight amount of play to the weft. Also there is no easy way to change sizes without sacrificing a buckle

Great small Jig to have when on the go. A coupe of the holes for the screws in mine were stripped so I have to fix that but otherwise very good construction with high quality wood. The dowel's don't quite fit but I have another Jig for that anyways.
