This unique State-of-the-Art Thread Tension Device is designed for the
professional. It is superior in performance compared to any other tensioner
available. This device will not abrade, tear, or cause fuzzies on the foil of even

The thread comes directly off the spool and does not pass through any part that
could damage it. The tension is adjustable and is supplied by the use of
opposing magnets on the spool shaft. This device can be mounted in any
position by means of the screw at the base of the device.  Complete
instructions are included, but the thread in the photo isn't!

Finish Bottle Caps
for Syringe use
Unique inserts that are self sealing. No more
messes, no more spills.  As you can see there isn't
a rubber grommet which means no contamination.
The unique fin design allows for adjustment in
varying sizes of bottle openings. There is also a
thoughtful lip design so the insert stops level at the
top of the bottle opening, still allowing you to use
your cap for closure and making it possible to
retrieve the insert for future use.  Large caps fit
every finish bottle over 1oz (2oz. kits) that we sell
except 4oz. D2 and 16oz. ThreadMaster bottles.
Small caps fit 1oz bottles (2oz kits) and 2oz (4oz kit)
D2 Bottles.
