quote:I know from metal working it would take compression from all sides to actually reform the track exactly. Even track pliers can't do that
your comment is exactly why I have never bought a pair of O27 track pliers. I, like some mentioned above, still use an old pair of needle nose.
I can't seem to resolve in my mind how just squeezing a track with a pin already inserted in it can compress the track enough to make the pin tight and secure.
What I usually do is to, using needle nose, compress the opening without a pin being in it, making the hole a bit too small. I then lightly tap the pin into the opening. This makes it about as tight as it can get.
I'd like to try a pair of pliers and see if they work as well as some mentioned here. I just am not going to buy a pair and be disappointed though, so I stick with my tried-and-true.
