How do they slip the tiny kapton sleeves over the even tinier wires? That looks long and really fiddly.

Apply a little vacuum to one end maybe? Any sort of heat shrink action? Alcohol lubricant that evaporates?

Does anyone know of a good source for the type of pogo pins used in that BGA adapter?  I found some on sparkfun, but they are $1 per pin!  Also on ebay, but comes from China so it takes almost a month to get to the states.  Thanks!
