Just a note of caution, Jerry.  While this tool works very well, don't depend
on it to make all of your coils perfect.  Before you put too much tension on
the string, remember to close your becket (long nose vice-grips work well) and
lift any coils which are spread out.  You will still need to tap down coils
afterwards too.  Even when finished, go back over the entire job, loosen, lift
and tap any spread out coils and close any open beckets.  Making your job look
as picture perfect as possible will give you the best stability.
