RAPUDA Candle Wick Holders, 25 Pcs Metal Wick Centering Tool, 4.7 Inch, Steel

These are simple and work perfect

These are easy to use but will see how they hold up over time, they seem like they will bend easily. The also arrived covered in some black residue, not sure what that is but they are very dirty.

These are way better than the wooden wick holders and are long enough for all of the candles I make

The packaging is cheap, the metal is dirty, some were bent, but they get the job done well at a fair price. If you want perfection, put your money where your mouth is.Pros:These are made of an easily bendable metal that is easy to pry open with one hand to get the wick in and secured into position with the other.They have just enough grip to firmly hold without crushing the primed wick.And if the wick gets dirty, that is fine because you need to trim it down below that level for safe burning anyways.Cons:You might need to gather some out of the bottom of the box/envelope since the package is made of that brittle plastic, wipe them off and bend some back to shape. Most of mine were in good enough shape not to send them back and I was able to get the others straightened out to use without issue.Overall, I give 4 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐I was looking all over for something to use, then I saw these cleverly marketed for candle making. Kudos to the seller on that.

These little pins are a game changer to me. They are easy to use and quick to remove. They hold the wick steady as intended.One note- be careful not to open them too far and bend them out of place. They are difficult to put back into shape.
