This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Mike, That is exactly why I quit using the impact tool. It was so slow in that = one needed to re-set the hammer on the pin to get the impact at the = correct spot for fine adjustments. With my knob hammer it is only = necessary to loosen the grip on the pin a tad to get more movement. Usually one just bumps the knob to relax the pin If you have not raised = the pitch too far. And if too far a click down and right back up. Wierd but it seems that once the pin has been moved up a click and down = a click, one can make smaller clicks of the pin back up again.

I used one on trial and was = frustrated, finding it difficult to make fine back-and-forth movements = in the pins. Moving in one direction was fine, but to go back the other = way I had to first take up the slack in the head to reverse direction. = Am I to understand that one doesn't make tiny, slow pull changes but = instead uses the impact feature exclusively? Otherwise it seemed that = the wide movement of the handle was cumbersome and difficult to = overcome.
