I have to jump in on this one. As much as pin bending (against pin twisting) can seem to be an efficient way of stabilizing your tunings, I think that you are putting undue pressure on the tuning-pin bushing and the pin-block. I know that when tuning up with very tight pins, the pin is going to twist before it turns in the block. Now my way of seeing this is that YES, you should bring the pitch a little further up, but then try untwisting the pin instead of bending it. In my book, pin bending should be BANNED! The only thing bending does, is it crushes the pin-block. Now you start crushing upward and then downward and pretty soon you've developped a VERY NASTY habit while tuning. But this is only my opinion based on my experience.
