I just want to say thank you for putting this video out. I never would have thought of fishing line to tie a slip knot! This got my 4 wheeler winch running again! Thank you!!
Thank this helps a lot! I am a 60 yr old builder and i have one so many things and this was my second time with this! I gave up the first time and payed someone thank you again!
I once drilled an old washing machine switch full of holes and tied about a dozen small metal tabs with springs under them in place. The switch was riveted together and when I opened it the parts sprung all over the place, I cleaned the contact points and with the fishing line trick I got the switch to work again and it lasted for a number of years. This was a $90 switch in the 80’s when I did this as a kid and saved my family a big expense.
Thanks, your video help me install brush for my stupid starter motorcycle motor, it has 4 brush and really hard to do. But I use dental floss instead of fishing line and it works pretty well.
Thanks for sharing and it worked out for you....everyone has dental floss! (or should). I used fishing line cause it slips out easily...but perhaps the floss does also.
You did not tell us what the knot was called. So I could lookup a boy scout manual. Sorry I could not work out what you were doing, I have used thin wire ie telephone wire tightened by twisting to do the same thing I was looking for a simpler way, Not sure yours is much better
This is exactly why I started carrying forceps in the toolbox as a “must-have” item, but my real intent was to suggest that next time when demonstrating tying a knot, just use a piece of rope, or even a length of twine instead of monofilament… it will be easier to handle, and not transparent… hell, your shoelace would even work ….

Very helpful. This video made my starter motor reassembly much easier. Thanks!
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Thank you!!!!
Great idea!!!
Worked like a dream thanks again
This is my first video. It will be a learning experience.
Might suggest that a small knot in the end of the line you use to pull the line out would be better than coloring the line. Good trick, thanks.
Your a life saver worked like a charm thank you
Glad it worked for you! Thanks!!

You're welcome! Glad it worked out!
very simple thank you
..nice trick, however my project requires keeping those brushes back in the end bell so to speak. Thanks.

It's a "slip knot". He mentioned it at 00.27min ruclips.net/video/zjLyJUh1dH8/видео.htmlsi=CsnXUnjpr3ZZ9DFO&t=27

The monofilament allows it to easily slip between the housings when you press them together.
