Please be aware that many piano technicians use various impact levers =
for fine tuning on a regular basis with excellent results. There is =
definitely a significant learning curve for effective use.

  I agree, Mike. I can't see fine tuning in both directions as a =
possibility with these things. Possible main use is to get the piano =
roughly in tune and polish off in your normal manner? I dare say these =
would also "set" the pins though!

      Clue me in on impact hammers.  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.
