Brad Brad Burnishing Pin Handle

If you're using the tape+glue method for workholding then burnishing the tape to surfaces. Experimenting with a few setups showed that a smaller pin gives higher pressure and a better result. I found that a ¼" diameter x ½" long pin worked well. Its just small enough to be hard to hold. 

This handle gives an easier way to hold the pin and apply pressure to it. Its designed to be printed vertically, and the pin should just snap in. 
 

The name is homage to the master of the tape-and-glue method who very generously shared his knowledge and wisdom with me, and who I hope never has to break a nail to burnish his tape again. 

Here are some pins that will work with it:
