How to use a sticky pin.

[Frank S]

We call them "Wigglers", but otherwise used identically.
I find bringing the pin to center with two fingers works for me, touching nails of index and middle finger creating a Vee. The fingernails touch at sort of a 90` angle to each other, once about midpoint of the shaft to reduce the wild swings, then at point.

I knew there was something I was missing out on with my calloused hands. The idea of being able to make my fingernails touch is foreign to me and mine are usually long enough to use as screwdrivers. I can just make the edges of my thumbnail touch 3 of the other fingers forget about reaching the nose of ear cleaning fingernail.
If I use my other hand I can just bend the fore finger enough so the nail of the middle can touch the top of the index but I have to use both hands to make my fingers cross passed me by at a very young age from swinging a hammer on an anvil.
I just pinch the wigglers between thumb and forefinger to stabilize them.
