Stonfo Elite Compact Disc-Drag Bobbin Holder
A compact stainless-steel holder that keeps the disc-drag adjustment of the Elite range.
Description
If the body of your regular holder gets in the way while you work close to the jaws, compare the Compact's shorter profile. You still have a disc drag to tune the resistance on the spool. Check the clearance where your hand normally sits as you wrap.

Fit and buying advice
For materials such as thick floss or microchenille, compare the Elite 2 instead. Its larger tube addresses a different problem. Base the choice on what is getting in your way: the tool body or the material at the outlet.
Questions about this tool
Does a smaller body mean it needs a smaller spool?
Stonfo describes broad spool fit without giving a dimensional range. Check unusually sized spools against the holder before relying on that fit.
Can I get the same compact shape with a larger tube?
The compact and large-tube Elite models are separate. If tube diameter matters most, compare the Elite 2 and allow room for its body.
How should I compare it with my existing holder?
Look at the room around the vise jaws at the angle you normally use. Then decide whether shorter reach would make your hand position more comfortable.
