David, I have used Paul’s method even with new agraffes. ESPECIALLY with new ones because some of the new ones are worse than the old ones. If you haven’t used Paul’s method of polishing agraffes you should. On a highly magnified view it makes them far superior; less noise, smooth bearing point.

So, without letting the perfect get in the way of the optimal, new agraffes need shaping as well as old. Same process, plus the cost of the new set. Just a thought.
