I had always just used my thumb for coiling but found as I was doing the last piano that it was getting tender as I worked. A friend offered my his coil maker and I used it to string the remainder of the piano. Obviously the learning curve and extra steps involved with handling an extra tool I wasn't used to slowed me some but I found the tool to be efficient and quite useful.
