Easy coil construction with turnbuckle found in hardware stores!

[javafreak]

Hi Guys,

Crossposting this to share a simple tool i discovered that really works for me when coiling. This isn't a new idea. Saw a few videos of people using screws and tried to find something in our country that would work and be easily available.

Turn Buckle

Made a quick video edit to share.



Hope this helps you if you haven't yet figured out how to do this easily.

Cheers

for NI200 seems to me using a screw would be faster and gives the best result
for kanthal macro coils using a screwdriver definitely takes the cake

as to ease of use I guess the tool itself provides more leverage and easier turns to mimic coilmaster/kuro coiler (not hard to replicate these using a screw tbh) but for readily available i'd still recommend screwdriver

Looks interesting! But I feel like abit ley Chey eh, need to unscrew the whole thing then unscrew the coil. Nevertheless nice way to make coil!

Hi @Elipse2Be since that video, I've tried holding the buckle and coil with my left thumb and unscrewing with my right. If you assemble on the last few threads, it's super fast!

Just make sure to clean the screw part.. Oil residue is bad

Yup good point! Torched the screw and wipe down with vodka!

it looks easy on kanthal but not necessarily with nick200 as they're more malleable.
