Tracy, I thought the key held the cable to the point. Is that  not the reason for the key?

>> I think you can buy either cables or tips separately, but I haven't done it.  I bought an interchangeable needle set a while ago, containing many sizes of needles and 3 sizes of cables, and now I'm going to try out this different kind of set.  If I like it, I'll get another whole set.

>> Can you just buy the tubes separately to? I mean does this question makes sense about circular needles. Then you would only have to buy the interchangeable needles and get several links of the tubing for the needles.
