Effortlessly twist perfect cords and ropes of 25+ feet with our Cord Maker! Featuring a 1:4 gear ratio, ten bearings for smooth action, and a metal drive shaft, it's the ultimate tool for cord production.

The twisting is wonderful, and the heavier casing makes the unit easier to hold and handle.

Includes an End Block with hooks to get you working ASAP.

The Cord Maker comes fully assembled and ready to twist! (If you need to lubricate your cord maker Silicone and PTFE-based lubricants are generally well tolerated.)

Needlepoint Finishing

We’re thrilled to see our Cord Maker in use at Rittenhouse Needlepoint, where they help finish stitched art with custom twisted cording—often made from the exact same thread used in the needlepoint. This gives projects a polished, professional look with seamless color matching.

Browse their Finishing Gallery—around 70% of the pieces shown use cording made with our tool!
(Thank you to Naowna Simon and the Rittenhouse team for sharing their work!)

What to expect

We use 10 greased bearings and a 1:4 gear ratio, so there is some "drag"/"heaviness" to using the Cord Maker, but it twists 4 times for every one rotation of the drill.
