Is there a tool and supplies that one can form a loop with a clamp for the end of a dial string? I often have trouble figuring out how to hold the knot in the the proper location to keep tension on the spring. Original strings seem to have been clamped like this or had an eyelet for the spring connection. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
