Yes Jim you are probably right as you can't wind under tension with any of these devices, but they are helpful to people that struggle to make coils

The best coils are built under tension

Just guessing here but it should work under tension if you tied the loose end of the wire to something and keep it tightish as you are winding the coil? Just thinkin out loud

I'm sure Greg would give you the same answer as he gave you in a previous thread on Kuro style coilers.

Arthritis in my left thumb is making coiling on a drill bit very difficult and the result is poor coils. I'm hoping these will make it easier.

We are all different. I used a machine to roll my fags which you seem to think is

Some people walk from Alresford to Alton but I prefer to do it by steam train. Each to their own.

I appreciate that chicken ,I just got the idea they were thought to be able to make better coils.
I'm all for doing things on the cheap the cost of the tool would buy a lot of Kanthal and Cotton!

Tell me more about the "steam train"

Jim

Drill bits are too short, hard to hold, why I use a knitting needle.

The best coils are built under tension 

Makes the best single strand mico-coils, especially it the exact diameter is important, but no good for twisted wire micro coils.

You could use them the wrong way round and coil under tension, but these make nice even coils with min effort

I would imagine that most people buying these coiling tools will be building single stranded very nice even coils with min effort but I'm sure Jim's (evansthestream) coils are equally as nice and probably perform better

Drill bits are too short, hard to hold, why I use a knitting needle.

I'm trying different things to see if I can make better coils. Now trying 2.5mm piano wire, about the length of a knitting needle  which I bought to use in a coiling under tension set up. It's better but I still drop it when my thumb hurts . I'm hoping the Kuro coiler will work as it will be a lot cheaper than getting the rest of the bits for the coiling under tension contraption.

The train is on the Watercress Line www.watercressline.co.uk/

Ok on the piano wire smifee , my fingers aren't what they used to be either!
Never visited the Mid Hants, my loss, but I am a member of the GCR. www.gcrailway.co.uk/
Don't know anything about a tension coil winder other than pulling the wire tight as I wrap the coil round the needle.
I use a 2mm and 0.25 wire for my Pro tanks, 2.5mm and 0.3mm wire for my Magmas.
