Review on 🧡 Paracord Stitching Set with 6 Pieces: FID Lacing Stitching Needles, Smoothing Tool, in 6 Sizes - Silvery by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not suitable for 550 Manny Method

I assume enough people looking at this set are interested in using the Manny Method on 550 paracord. Of the three feeds in this set, the smallest is too small for a 550 gauge paracord and the largest is too big for a 550 end. A medium sized 550 feed will fit fine, but pushing it through the end of the paracord is next to impossible . It can be done, but there will be a lot of sweat, tears and swearing. The cone isn't very long, which is perhaps the biggest problem. Also, the product description doesn't list the exact dimensions of the FID, so who knows if it meets FID Type III specifications. Instead I would recommend to use the Jig Pro Shop Type III feed. Yes, it's more expensive, but it has a much better taper and goes well with the Manny method. Those issues aside, the set looks decently constructed. The alignment tool is pretty good (although it sticks out of the top of the pocket) and you get a lot for your money. If you don't need the Manny Method at 550, or if you use 750 or more paracord, this set will likely work for you.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
