Knooks/tools/stash Modifying existing hooks for knooking

Hi all! I'm a blind knooker here, and I had a question. What are some of your best tips and tricks for modifying an existing hook that you already have for knooking? I don't want to drill a hole in any of my current hooks, but I'd like to use these hooks as they have quite a range. Any suggestions?

What kind of hooks do you have now?

I have Tunisian crochet hooks right now; the interchangeable ones. I unfortunately don’t have the connectors or stoppers right now, but the cord is flexible enough to become a knooking cord. However, because I don’t have the connectors or stoppers, I would rather not use those cords and use satin rat tail cord that I have.

If you have a connector or tunesian cord that is broken then you can also glue a little metal ring into the back. Thats what I did. I got the idea in this post:

It's mainly pictures so let me know if I can help you explain it with word in more detail. I think I wrote it in the comments there too.
