problem learning how to use an insta coiler

[pianotune05]

Hi Richard,
We tried placeing the tuning lever where the diagram mentinos, and when you 
turn it, the entire tool turns, handle, sleeve etc.  I treid to hold the 
handle in one place as I turned the lever, and man it was like cranking an 
old modle T. Now I know what they menat when they said that a person could 
break their arm. Man I didn't feel as if I were going to break my arm, but 
it was like doing isometric excersizes pushing my hands together nothing 
budging.  My poor instructor grabbed that lever with two hands and had to 
crank hard to get it to move while trying to keep the handle of the insta 
coiler stlil.  We're both really strong guys but had a tough time with this 
thing, not sure why. so we tried it without putting the tuning lever on top 
of the coiler,on top meaning connecting the tip to the top of the coiler. 
it's a pain trying to grab that little handle of the coiler. Plus the becket 
kept coming loose from the groove of the coiler and it would get loose and 
wobbly.
