Metal Aluminum Uni-Monkey Fist Jig – Choose from Black, Silver, and Blue – Monkey Fists Size 5/8 to 4 Inches – Makes Paracord Monkey Fists Easy

I like that this has screws to lock everything in place. If you experience a little slippage when working on tight weaves, just add a little paracord scrap in between the bolts and the X-shaped base for added friction. You can also use a sharpie to outline the circles of each post and skip using the measurements on the jig (which are convenient but I’m slightly impatient )All in all a fantastic and essential tool. If you are just starting out or if you are upgrading from a flimsy wooden jig, you’re in for a treat. Highly recommended.

it will allow you to make tennis ball fists with 5 wraps of 3/8/ line. Take 5 tennis balls cut a slice in the ball, put 12 oz canon ball lead fishing sinker inside, spray installation foam inside let it set about 1 hour. Put in jig wrap loosely with 3/8 3 braid line need 19 feet. work it tight after all wraps are completed. next end splice both ends together to form loop in the ends!!!!

I like the jig in that it will hold a steel ball more or less in place for the monkey fist. I do not like the fact, it is hard to get the arms adjusted where they will stay put. They get loose and slide around some of the time. That is kind of annoying. Nonetheless, it is still easier than with no jig at all so it gets three stars.

Quality is over all good. The two things I don't like are one, the Post's are a little difficult to tighten and two, it really needs to be capable of being mounted to a bench or something solid. On the plus side it does what it is intended for vary nicely. Once you get the posts tight around your ball bearing you can make a tight monkey fist with this jig. It's a good buy.

Didnt stay tightened. Moved quite a bit

This worked better than the other one I ordered over a year ago. Easier to handle and faster first production. The screws could be better on this though. My only complaint about it.

Had to run brass nut's back and for a bit for them to go freely. The 7/16 nuts need to be locking nuts, the post's keep slipping. I just changed the 7/16 to locking and is great, really don't need all the measurements on the jig. Just throw a bearing or marble in it and square it up and start threading!

love how easy this is to adjust and how sturdy it is compared to the wood models
