problem learning how to use an insta coiler

[pianotune05]

The only thing I'm not getting is, why is turning the coiler such an ordeal with a tuning lever?  If I try to hold the handle still it's like two forces trying to go against each other.  If I let go the handle and the coiler just spin around.

  Hi Andrew,
  I too, like the insta-coiler. All the instructions given are good and I will add a point or two. I use a rachet star head, Schaff  # 23, with an adapter and a 1/2 inch mechanics rachet wrench to turn the insta-coiler. I like to adjust the handle and hold it with my left hand so the notch is holding the winding coil straight forward as I turn coiler with the rachet.
