Cynamed TC Mayo Hegar Needle/Suture Holder Driver with Tungsten Carbide Inserts and Gold Rings - Premium Grade Instrument (8 in.)

I used this with curved upholstery needles to fix my sofa. Worked really well.

Yup. Theyre Mayos.

Bought this for sewing, mending and crafting when I have trouble getting needle through thick, dense or very tough fabrics like leather, heavy wt denim, hat bands etc. I do use a thimble, but had trouble pulling needle thru. Remembered occasionally using a needle driver to suture at work and thought “what the heck look on Amazon”. Bingo! Got exactly what I need and it was delivered quickly. Excellent grip on even the small needles!!

Serviceable and nicely finished instrument. Hospital grade.

I just recently started school and these are perfect for me to practice my sewing skills

As a retired surgeon, I’ve always love suturing forceps for hook extraction when fishing. Distressed when I lost mine in a fall on my last fishing excursion, I found them on Amazon and they work great, just like my trusted old pair.

I have tried the longer holders, ie. 10” and 8”, but really find the 7” to be the best for access. I secure it to the loop above my shirt’s front pocket flap and so it is there when I need it.

I needed a tool that would grip metal well, and lock into place while applying force. These are much better instruments for the task, than “jewelry pliers”. Thank You!
