Capstan Tool

Joe and Joe,

I just R & R'd a set of capstans with my own version of a powered 
capstan tool. I wondered about putting a hook on the end but found that 
none was necessary. The force of the drill motor keeps the tool in place 
and side clearance is an issue unless you raise each key you're working 
on. The hex drive shaft is a great idea. I used a mute handle as stock 
for the tool and it wanted to spin in the drill chuck so I had to swage 
three sides on the shaft to get a better grab on it. (Oops, this size 
doesn't fit Yamaha).

The only difficulty was starting a capstan in a new hole. I used an 
arbor press (from 'arbor Freight) to get it started and that prevented 
the capstan tool from tearing it out of the hole.
