A spring handled feather touch tension tool. Nice job! Don't see many of those. I made one of the white crane variety, but never really liked it. I've used a few sucessfully though. My favorite was made from a mouse trap spring and two wiper inserts.

Interesting, I'll have to give that a shot to see how it goes. Thanks for sharing the idea!

Re: New Tention Wrench ideai!

i posted pics of my tools some time ago , i done exactly the same thing, but on some wrenches i have two springs of different elasticity joined together this way you can choose which spring to hold so you can get super light tension, they work very well with the epg.

I made mine from reading this book. It's a good book aint it?!

Just a spring with a bit of metal glued onto it. Quite effective when you only need very little tension.
