The all-metal, Thread-O-Stat Thread Grabber has a smooth jaw, so the thread is gripped tightly and securely as you clamp the handles together. Unlike a typical hemostat which has a toothed or jagged jaw (preventing a firm grip), the Thread-O-Stat is more like tweezers, only better!  You will be able to grab a hold of that little thread as you take the proper steps to remove it and the Thread-O-Stat won't let go!
