threaders

Eye-passage aids

Threaders is the plural of threader—a tool or device that helps guide thread through a needle's eye, or more generally, anything that threads.

In sewing, a needle threader typically has a thin wire loop that passes through the eye more easily than thread alone.

The term extends to industrial equipment that cuts screw threads into pipes or bolts.
