problem learning how to use an insta coiler

[Avery]

Yeah, me too, Sid. But I've learned to use the dummy pin method now 
and much prefer it.
It makes me feel a lot more comfortable about causing loose pins by 
backing one out 3-4
turns & then turning it back in. Especially on a piano with 
marginally tight pins to
start with.
