Plug follower/repinning tool

I got tired of springs and pins flying everywhere while trying to repin so I made a plug follower that serves double duty. Near the end of the follower I drilled a hole most of the way through that is just slightly bigger than the drivers, then I cut a slot from the end of the follower to the drilled hole to allow a hook to fit in so the pin and spring can be pushed up into the bible (starting with the back pin). Then rotate the follower, push it out the front just far enough to put in the next set and continue until all driver pins and springs are in place. Finally, just push the follower out with the plug as usual being careful to make sure the follower is rotated so the driver pins don't get caught in the hole in the follower. I don't know if this has been done before but I haven't seen it and thought some might be interested so here it is. Its not a necessity but it sure makes life easier for me.

Excellent idea. I haven't seen it done this way before - but it looks like it will save a lot of time. Good job.
