Coil Gizmo from Artistic Wire

SuperX has written about this product and I am in 100% agreement with him. I received it yesterday and it is a game changer. I would suggest everyone with a Reomizer get one as quickly as possible. They are fast, perfect and easy as pie. I was having so much fun pumping out perfect coils that I made up some extras to have around.

This is a great product.

It's sort of mesmerizing. I keep turning out 3 and 4 ohm coils just because I can't seem to stop turning the little handle

Just picked one of these up at Michaels while grabbing a bead reamer set for some airhole adjustments. Got a particularly surprised look from the girl at the counter - a 6ft 3 guy buying pink handled beadmaking tools

I agree 100%. I absolutely love mine. I couldn't build a decent coil to save myself before I got one of those.

Hows this work exactly? Just put the wire in, and turn that little crank?

Check out SuperX's video....it shows it perfectly.

I agree with everyone above. I found one locally at Hobby Lobby and it's soooo FUN to make perfect coils. I wish I had someone (Gil, are you reading this?) to make some coils for. I love it.

I got mine at Hobby Lobby, too. 50% off coupon that week, too! I think Michaels' carries it as well, for other folks who prefer to buy local. I haven't used it as much as I'd like. I need to find a better table on which to attach it.

Mine came today and I made my first perfect coil. I highly recommend it! My husband broke a composite shim in half for me to use it on the desk - it would damage most tables if used the way it is made.

If it wasn't for @flavored turning us on to it over in the big old micro coil thread i'd still be twisting a screwdriver around a roll of Kanthal to make a coil thinking it was easy.

Real props deserve to go to my man @flavored.

But the device does kick so much ... I had to get all evangelical about it

Here's how I set mine up:

.055" music wire bent into a mandrel (top) that I don't use any more.
.055" improved mandrel (middle) where the loop that holds my wingnut is turned 90 degrees to face the wire.
.055" tool to mount the coil (bottom) courtesy of my brother darkzero

Brilliant! When I saw this I said "damn! why didn't I think of that". Thanks Super!

I have one too, love it. Got mine at my local Joann Fabrics.

I love my coil gizmo! As soon as I saw Russ' video I went to Amazon and ordered one!

 

[tmel]

Will this work without the wing nut? Any specifications for that?

 

[InTheClouds]

I ordered one yesterday! Can't wait for it to arrive.

It does work without the wing nut. You can wrap the wire around the loop a few times to secure the wire. The wing nut just makes it a lot easier. Don't know the specs. Once you get one it isn't hard to find something at Homedepot or the local hardware store that will work.

Thanks for the photo - I bent my mandrel to look like yours, but couldn't find a wing nut. I was thinking about cutting off the end of the mandrel to make a coil mounter.

I took mine off the clamp and screwed it to a piece of scrap wood...no clamping needed.

M 4- bolt and wing nut

A "gotta make this now with whatever I can find in my house" adaptation of super_X_drifter's mandrel and coil mount (I cut off the end of the mandrel and bent it in a vice).
