A specialized basket weaving tool designed for packing woven rows, the Straight Tipped Packer helps basket makers push rows of reed down firmly and evenly as they weave — keeping the weave tight, consistent, and well-structured throughout a project.
·Purpose-built for packing rows: Used to firmly press rows of reed down into place as you weave, this tool helps maintain even tension and a tight, clean weave from base to rim — an important step for a well-finished basket.
·Straight steel tip: The straight tip allows you to get in between spokes and push weavers down precisely, giving you better control than using your fingers alone — especially useful in tighter weave sections.
·Sturdy steel construction: The approximately 2-1/4 inch steel tip is built to hold up to repeated use, providing reliable packing pressure without bending or wearing down over time.
·Comfortable 5-inch handle: The handle length gives you a comfortable, controlled grip — easy to maneuver during long weaving sessions without hand fatigue.
A simple but genuinely useful basketry tool, the Straight Tipped Packer is a practical addition to any basket maker's toolkit for keeping rows tight and weaving even.
