But its not cheap for something that simple and for some reason I cant
find anything on aliexpress or amazon, presumably because they use a
different description. Anyone with a better idea of name to use ?



Fuse wire.

With primus stoves there used to be a device called a pricker.
A mounted stiff wire with a handle at right angles.

Yeah, remember those but the proper jet tool would be better.
They arent all that expensive, but I'm so jewish I want to check
if the chinese do them much more cheaply. No rush for the tool.

If you try a range of flex you may find one with the right diameter
strands.

The problem isnt the diameter of the strands, it’s that they are too soft.

I've just done them with a needle I bought, because it was too much
effort to find the previous needles. Got much too thin a needle and
managed to bend that one with one of the jets that is pretty tight
and snap the needle with another, The jets are much better aimed
than they were, so I will wait till I get the proper tool to do anymore.
