Hi Terry,

Get a captive hammer coil lifter/setter. That way nada touches the plate or
in your case the veneer.

the pretty veneer cover with stringing tools? The simple coil lifter for
example - is in not designed to be levered on the plate/pinblock so that
when you push down on the handle the little fork on the other end pushes up
on the coil bottom? Have I been using this tool incorrectly? Tips? Advice?
