This. You screw a little steel stud into the end of each spoke nipple, drop it in the valve hole and then use a magnet to drag it round to the correct spoke hole, pop the nipple through the hole using the magnet, remove the magnet, undo the steel stud from the nipple and wind the nipple onto the spoke. It's a massive PITA, but not having to use rim tape is nice.
they use magnet to drive the nipple from valve hole to the nipple hole
