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.

I bought a pack of sharp pointy things that look just like
dental instruments for £1 in a diy shop.

Intended for working on PCBs but the straight one is
perfect for pricking eggs before boiling and also for
poking into windscreen washer jets that have become
clogged with gunge because it has a decent handle,
so is easier to use than a semstress pin (the ones
with bulbous ends).
