Hey Newton, Your list of factory stringing pet peeves is right on, but I rarely see that poor of work from a factory. I use standards that are high, give me a break. This list sure has become negative. Tim Coates University of South Dakota <Hey Tim, I would not brag about doing a factory quality stringing job. The day I cannot do a better than factory job it is time to put the hammer and Insta Coiler up on the wall. Some things I hate about factory stringing, Coils too high off the plate, should be not more than 2 to 3mm Beckets sticking out the other side to cause bluody finger prints Pins too tight to tune well Coils left unlifted or unsetted Becket bends sticking out Loose pins not replaced Finding 4/0 pins in a new block The good Lord knows I am far from perfect, but I can do a better job than many factories.
