I started there... but no luck... it's my first try so it was trial and error...
Looks great man my first try had a lot of gaps and even the next ones still have gaps.
No need really, you can wrap fantastic coils by hand. I'm no expert (yet) but there are ways and there are ways. Let me see if I can find a quick vid
Hand wound is better - I find those coil master coilers tend to mess up the fine guages like 38 and 40ga wraps .
I've been using these since day 1, haven't had a single issue with them and believe me when I say they work hard. Every 2 weeks I give them a squirt of Q10 for my own sake, not sure how necessary it is but I figure it can't do any harm.
Well its early days for me and the swivels,but so far so good,much better that the crap I started with last night,cant imagine a fisherman even landing a guppi with that rubbish.
I paid R30 for three,also gave them some Q20 before starting,but wipe off excessive lubricant,otherwise you lubricate everything,your tv,floor,dog...

I can relate so so much to this. When I still attempted to build aliens I used it on my fingers in the hope that it would help me with the correct tension...what a mistake, specially if you decide to wick a few moments later.
Thanks @Jp1905 I also paid around R30 for mine. I found a pic of the brand, the ones I got are black and come ina pack of three.
So far I'm running 4 in line but I am not sold on them. I am going to see if I can find the same brand your using.

good point, how can I convince my wife that making coils together will be awesome ?
What brand are those @Steyn777 - I oil mine before every build let alone every 2 weeks. Always remember to keep some paper towel to catch the excess oil that flings off.
I think Centro is not the best brand to be using, it would be great if everyone could share what brand swivels their using.
let's do a trade, my wife for your coil building skills?Oh would you stop bragging please! We get it, a girl loves you..... (crying in the forever alone corner)
I convinced my wife she could read in peace while I build coils downstairs. So far she has approved all purchases and even suggested I get a new 18v drill and some bigger clamps for the desk #SHOCK #HORROR
0.4mm ribbon x 6 bordered with 28ga stagered with 36ga then wrapped with 38ga 2.5mm 0.16 ohms vape is awesome.
Done!
For the life of me I cant remember. It was the only bearing swivels our little shop had and also the last packet. I have 4 connected together and the last 2 never moves
Just setup your build station in the living room or were you guys spend most of your time...the actual prep before the drill starts working will give you enough time to still have decent conversations.
