Cole, RPT That's a neat idea, Tom. Might try it out next time. Myself, after using the awl, I use a magnetized, long, small screwdriver blade that holds the screw in one hand, and with the other hand, I hold the repair spring upside down. And very gingerly mate the two on the rail, adjust as necessary, and button it down. Keith McGavern kam544@earthlink.net Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA
