Thanks Ron I don't think I'll need it <grn> either but I'll make one just in case and keep it with my Band-Aids which I also never need <big grn> Bill To keep from driving them too deep, I always just stop driving just short of going too deep. Always. When I don't, I get out my modified screw jack (sort of an un-screw jack). To use it, I block up as necessary underneath with wood scrap, and turn the top end up into the pin hole until it contacts the bottom of the pin, then another 1/4 turn to add pressure. On top, turn the pin slightly CCW, then back CW to where it was with your tuning lever, and it will ooze up out of the block a bit like magic. Repeat the jacking and oozing until satisfied with the pin height, then stop. Put the jack away where you can find it the next time this never happens, pretend it never happened this time, and get back to work. This can be done either with or without string tension.
