Technology and use cases for PET necks


First of all, the neck can be used to create a storage container on the handle of the instrument. To do this, it is put on the handle and seated with a hairdryer. If you don’t have a hairdryer, you can do this by pouring boiling water over the shrinkage area. You can also get by with a lighter, gas torch or candle. However, this method will lead to darkening of the plastic from soot if you keep the flame in one place for a long time.
