<html> <body> Marshall, It isn't difficult with a new tool.  Perhaps this one is rusty.

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. <dd>Norm Barrett <dd>Memphis Chapter <dd>  <dl> <dd>----- Original Message ----- <dd>From: <a href="mailto:pianotune05@comcast.net">pianotune05</a> <dd>To: <a href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech List</a> <dd>Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 6:35 AM <dd>Subject: Re: problem learning how to use an insta coiler <dd>  </dl> </dl></blockquote></body> </html>
