Dual Tool when Open

The Dual Tool is similar to the Retractable as it has a crochet hook that advances and retracts when the body is twisted. Please note that the hook protrudes less than 1/4 inch when extended.  The Dual Tool has a longer back portion and a modified detachable key chain mechanism with 0.043 inch Stainless Steel wire sharpened to a point to pick out mistakes. The one pictured is made of Birdseye Maple, but other woods are available, see the list in the Tatting Accessories page.

A More Ornate Dual Tool

Using a wood center ring allows for more decorative turning.  Inquire via email if you're interested in a Dual Tool of this type.
