Loopset pliers

Anyone use or see one? Looks cool though, wonder if it really works as advertised.

Cougar Mag, I haven't seen them yet or know what they are. By the name I would guess that they are used for putting your string loop on. Or maybe not!

What are they and where did you see them. I get several bowhunting mags and haven't seen them yet.

I use a regular needle nose pliers for tightening my loop--is there a specific tool now for string loops?--haven't seen it yet.

I've seen them and talked to the poeple that designed it the at the Harrisburg show in PA. ,I can't remember thier name,I will go thru my file and see if i still have the info and post it .

needle nose pliers with the tips turned out so the loop doesn't slip off when you're tightening? that would be a nice thing to have.

The loopset pliers are located on page 5 of Viper Archery Products 2006 gear guide. Its for putting on a D-loop and the description says it will pre-stretch the loop, and enables the user to make the same length loop each time. No description/picture is available on their website. Retail price in the brochure is $19.95. Instructional DVD is also available.

Thanks. I figured it was something like that. I also just use a pair of needle nose. I will have to check them out.

Is it really so dificult to tie a loop that we need a $20 set of pliers? [&:]

I'd like to see what these things look like.

Yeah, they work awesome. I used to use needle nose, but those things are nice. You don't need to spend the money though.

I also have a passion for tools--even though I may use it once or so, the thought of having it, gives me comfort. I had about 4 or 5 different nocking pliers and when Tru-Fire came out with their universal crimping tool, which can also remove thenocks quite easily I had to get that as well.
