How to use a hook
Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 7:45 am
OK..Noob question. When you are using a hook do you pick up on it, or lever it off the front of the keyway?
I get more consistent pressure and better feel levering it, but the hook rests on my tension tool and messes up my tension. If I pick up on it, I overset the pins a lot. I want to be learning the right way.
Also, been having a real hard time getting a hook under the last pin to set it. When I use a shorter hook, I bugger up the pins in the front that have already been set. Any tips? Maybe a 3rd hook of in between height? Here are the two I have.
