Use between the stakes, side on, pointing into the basket (so as not to damage the facing weave)
The commander (the ring on the top) does provide a handy hanging loop, but its primary use is to assist you in straightening kinky stakes for square work, corners, etc.
The majority of basket makers use a 500g rapping iron. A 1kg rapping iron is better suited to rapping down hurdles or larger baskets.
