I'd use one occasionally if I had one. I wish I'd bought a Henry's tool a while back. I get the impression from some posts here that they aren't available any more. That confirms what I suspected after trying in vain to find them online about a month ago. (I guess I missed the memo.)

I'll try a paper clip next time....never thought of that.

I use Henry's now, and have used the Drawpoker in the past. The Henry's tool works better because the metal rod is thicker, which clears the cigar better.

Even though I don't approve of the way Henry treats the nurses in the hospital, I respect his hard work in the shed out back enough to use his tools and find they work very well. PERIOD.

I keep a couple of short, sharpened end pieces of 316SS welding rod laying around. Works fine when the need arises.

Is this a MASH reference?

If so, very funny. If not, I will slowly back out of the room!

Own a couple of Henry's as well.

I've also grabbed a 1/4 in drill bit - when I'm smoking in the garage.

I use a coat hanger with the end flattened and twist when I pull it out. Rarely have to use it though..

Ok, so it seems like there's a handful who don't have Henry's tools that would want something. Maybe I need to get a creatin then and make a couple.

Where do you buy Henry's draw tool? I googled it but I cannot find a link, and it is not on CI or Famous, at least with a search.

Thanks!

I bought some metal BBQ skewers that I cut down that seem to work pretty good. I hate having to use them, but its nice to have something ready to go.

That Henry's draw tool looks alot like the $2 worm threader I purchased from Bass Pro Shops...

Seriously, save the $18 and grab a worm threader. Has the nice wooden handle to boot...

I use a thin drill bit. Twist going in, twist pulling out. Works great

I just use a paper clip whenever I need to loosen the draw up. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done. Might have to give the drill bit a try next time.

I use a KABOB SKEWER most of the time. I also Hhave a DRAWPOKER. Works well...
DRY BOXING seems to work the best for me.
I am sorry to say.
