I found it, like most APSCO tools, to lack finish: needed some filin= g here or there to make it work right. The gear cogs were rather rough when I first got it. And I=B9d like a couple changes to geometry to allow for a wide= r range of upright shank lengths. I made two or three add-ons for spinets and what-not. And frankly I like it better for uprights than for grands, but it=B9s faster and more efficient than the screw type for both upright and grand. Saves no end of time popping those loose heads.
