BINGO. !!.... I haven't finished reading the rest of this thread, but wire wrap tools are also made in a "pistol grip" trigger pull, set to wind a certain number of wraps with each trigger pull.
Like this one: OK INDUSTRIES G200/R3278 - OK Industries Wire Wrapping Tool, Lexan, 18 - 32 AWG
Think I might even have one in my junk drawer.
I actually have one of those. The bits for it are quite expensive (especially considering you can get the manual tool from Radio Shack for $5). In addition, the center post (that you wrap the wire over) is smaller than 1/16 inch. (This is with a tool that is sized for 30awg. I thought about getting some posts to wrap over, but have not tried that yet. I know you would have difficulty using the square posts that this tool is designed for. The difficulty will be getting the coil to slide off, once you got it wrapped. They are designed to prevent the coiled wire from slipping off, once you have wrapped it on the post. BTW, I posted a link to Telephone Tools in Georgia earlier in this thread. They actually carry an electric model and it uses the same bits as the squeeze one.
i couldn't find a bit small enough for the Radio Shack one to fit over. might be ok for nano or pico coils... the Lonard one will fit a 1/16 bit and can use 28awg- maybe larger but that's all i tried
Got my DZ jig today
DZ jig is the cat's whiskers. I be diggin' it too.
For those of us not on DZ's friend list and i am probably too poor to be included - check this out from turbo! Apparently he can wrap coils as his wife sleeps.

When I get my DZ jig, I was going to see if that worked.That is a cool way to do it and Deezys jig can do that too
Pretty neat tool.
I too, made something like it out of wood.
It worked.
This I can take with me, easily

Got my DZ Jig last night. It's perfect and functions better than I anticipated. I'd tried making a jig out of wood and have been using a small c-clamp. I was even going to try the twirly thing with the DZ jig but no need to.
It simply produces perfect coils. My coils come out way better than before and it's very easy to do. I struggled to keep the wraps tight and not over lapping with the other jigs I'd made. The DZ jig just lays them down perfectly, looks like I had already heated and squeezed the coil.
This is 10 wraps with 28ga kanthal fresh off the spool with no preheating done to the wire.
Thanks DZ for the perfect tool!
