I have seen these before but usually it is the ONLY item I want from the supplier and I am not willing to pay $21+/- with shipping for them

Also I am not sure what is the best way to load them other then dipping, and I think a small container with a light viscosity glue like CA would be a waste of the expensive glue

I find the very small/long add on tips work well enough for me

After I saw these the first time, I thought it a cool enough idea to replicate with copper wrapping wire and my method did work but not really better than the long thin CA tips

That said...If you need to get exactly one small drop of CA inside a hard to reach area... make the loop out of wire on the end of a pencil or stir stick, dip in the CA puddle on a wax or aluminum sheet to pick up that small drop and place it where you need

I get a lot of my luthier suplies from Stewmac simply because they're close to me and I get it no later than the second day. With that said, they are HIGH PRICED for their items because of the field they serve.  For me, my customers pay the price, not me, or I would do without a lot of their quick service.
Do a search for such and item elsewhere if you are serious.

I'm not going to pay good money for a photo etched loop when I can make one out of a small loop of wire.

Bespoke tools are all well and good but this is a bit much.
