This tool looks interesting at first, but then I questioned the extra thickness of the tool extension bit and the actual thickness of the pouch, plus the flat bands passed through the pouch hole and folded over the pouch: upon withdrawing the tool extension bit, the final knot cannot be as tight as a knot made without this tool using other more classic jigs - or am I missing something?

Either way, I ended up making my own flat band jig that allows accurate band end & pouch placement and tying knots for perfectly symmetrical bands with the required OTT or TTF orientation, using a basic vise-based mechanism to generate band end tension prior to tying a knot.

A detailed tutorial is available in the templates section of the forum, if ever.

This is how it works:

I have a similar jig as Ordo. It works pretty good. And it would be great to have a set up like Pebble Shooter's. But I picked up this cheap little thing on Amazon ( it took like a month to arrive from China) that I'm really starting to like a lot.

It's made of plastic so you just squeeze that gap closed a little and when you let off your squeezing, it creates tension on the band and pouch while you tie. It even came with a set of forceps.

I throw it in my bag with some supplies and it's been working pretty good. It really doesn't even feel cheaply made. And for the price, it'd be no problem to have a few.

Have you tried it?
This design received lots of complain in China. If you are used to draw your bands to a ratio close to maximum, one end will be pulled through the knot.
We have stocked it but only give it as freebies.
