Yeah sometimes I forget what i say. Apologies. My head is a jungle. Working on an east coast schedule living on the west coast right now, I get the occasional missed thought.
Claptons are kinda mindless work.
But this device just kinda bothers me because it creates a perception that a Clapton/fused Clapton is hard to make, so if you're just getting started you NEED to buy this or else you won't be able to make them.
It's like, before I used a swivel, before I even bought wire by the spool, it makes it look like a necessity that you buy spools of wire (my old local B&M that closed sold 5' lengths of N80 & KA1 for $2), and that making a wrap on your own is a hard thing.
That's why I don't like this device, and have remarks against it. It's not personally directed towards you, I just feel like holding a spool and bending the other end of the core wire(s) thru a ball bearing swivel is way easier and quicker to set up and make. This takes the creative element out of wrapping wire. And I don't think it could wrap a paraclapton. Screwing up is part of the learning process.
Side note, the first drill I learned on was archaic, like 1980-1990~ and the chuck was all screwed up. I don't use a fancy cordless or an expensive Li-On drill, just a $20-25 corded "Drill Master," and hold the spool between my fingers.
