Title: To Big John, and whomever else it may concern

I got the hartco clincher today. Here is a short demo (pay no attention to the buffoon in the flannel shirt)

This tool did NOT disappoint!!!
It makes connecting no-sag springs with stakewire a breeze.

Well that was pretty cool!  Know I know what it's used for and can see how it works.  Thanks to the buffoon the plaid shirt.  Hollywood will be calling very soon, I'm sure of it.

I don't know if yours is like mine. I find it works better if you hook the little dohicky on the bottom of the gun around the spring and pull up when you pull the trigger instead of pushing down. That may just be me. Try it both ways and see what you think.

Ours must be different. I initially tried it that way. But I got too much backlash. Mine works better when I push down.

That's the tool, I'm going to start looking for a deal on one as my volume wont support a new one.
