I never used them and I am not shure if they are made for this kind of loop you want to produce. I guess they produce the long loops for bass strings.

In the workshop I worked years ago we had just a nail in a wooden beam. In field service I used a bar clamp with a kind  of hook for exactly that purpose. But the clamp broke and I can´t remember where I bought it.
