More on 110v wire-wrap guns: we bought a couple of (Gardner-Denver,
I think) ww guns a few years ago, and had the same wire-breaking, bad
connection, wire-stripping problems mentioned in the earlier article.
Then our technician found someone selling *good* tips for the guns that
make it virtually impossiblle to get a bad wrap or a broken wire, and
it strips the insulation as it wraps! The bad news is that the tips cost
as much (maybe more) than did the gun itself. But they've saved our
sanity more than once, I' sure.

Unfortunately I don't have the name of the source for the tips at hand;
if you need the info get back to me and I'll try to find it (the
technician left about a year ago and I'll have to find his paperwork,
etc...)
