I tried tapping the coils with a screwdriver, but ended up grabbing 
them with my fingers. Small movements are easy if you turn the coil 
as you move it. It's been a while, but I don't recall any particular 
problems with heat changing pitch. Maybe Avery has hotter phalanges 
than I do, or I wasn't that picky then.
