Hey, Ed Foote- Perhaps it makes a slight bend where you tap the wire, changing the angle of the wire through the agraffe, and moving the contact area a little more up and forward.

Could you explain further, please. >> By giving the string a rap straight downwards, it snaps back upwards on its own elasticity, hitting the top of the string hole in the agraffe. This seems to often seat the string in the agraffe. I don't know exactly how or why it works so often, but I have successfully removed agraffe sizzles with this procedure for years.
