So I want to use M4 nuts for attaching PTFE tubes to my extruders, I've had few broken PTFE couplers when doing multi-material printing with strong extruders. But one thing has always been a bit cumbersome and that's getting the nuts thread to the tubes. It's quite hard and frustrating to get the nut to start threading properly and straight. So I made this little helper tool that makes this task easier.

As the PTFE tube compresses with the nut, I use 2mm drill bit to open it up.
