I've been making up sewing kits and have learned that the cheap needle threaders, will pull out the metal threader part, if not fortified. Those little metal ones. You can get the metal threader part more tightly held, if you take a coin and press the metal parts that hold the threader, so the metal thread doesn't tear out when you use it.
There are also two types of self threading needles. The one mentioned above where you push/pull the thread through the top of the eye, and the other is called a side threading needle. I have both types in my sewing kits for tired eyes.
This is the side threading needle, much harder to find than the other type. https://www.amazon.com/Sench-Self-T...6716029&sr=8-1&keywords=side+threading+needle
