Questions about this tool
Which handle comes with this listing?
It is the straight metal handle. Lineco lists the curved handle separately under 870-889.
Can I rely on the package dimensions for the needle length?
No needle reach is established by those dimensions. Check the actual length if you use a thick guide plate.
What if my hands prefer wood?
Compare the light-duty Lineco for a slender wood grip with a fine point.
