The loop pliers do look great. I just put a string loop on my wifes bow and it worked out real well. I guess I'll have to try the wax trick when i do my own. As far as stretching goes, it should do it fairly slow at 30#'s huh? I actually bought a set of 6 loops on ebay from a guy I was buying from anyway. They were precut and melted ends and fairly short too. I had all i could do to get the last loop in there and fit a phillips screwdriver in it. Had to actually wedge and tap it in. I do see how that pliers would make the last bit of tightening better though. Would not want that surprise of un raveling half way through your draw at a nice buck
