dont see why that should happen unless youve been twisting all day u should get used to it soon enough. also remember to lock the hook or swivel so you can haywire and get a good grip on the base of the wire.and when twisting keep your fingers close to where the haywire is forming but not on it because it gets hot when you wrap especially on the barrel wrap.dont wrap for the rest of the day unless you need to and your hands will feel better tomorrow

Yeah i looked at the EZ twist too, but it only goes to size #13, They do have that haywire twist machine but i dont think its worth it

Yea that 22 is a bear. Start with 22 and then the 19 feels a whole lot better :D
