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>  </DD></DL></DD></DL></BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE></body></html>
