Been using my Wilson trimmer since 1968. I speed up the process with an elec. or battery powered drill. First remove the crank handle and I screwed on a 5/8" nut where the hand crank was. Take the 3/8" drive socket holder that fits into the impact and elec. screw diver sets and insert the socket to fit the nut you screwed onto tool where the crank was.... Harbor Fr. has the 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" socket adapter kits for $3.00 with coupon. Hope I am not too wording decribing such a simple thing. Make sure you put a drop of oil in lube hole on the lathe. I put a drop motor oil to keep the wear factor down. Presently I use Mobil 1 0-20 is what I have. Experiment and adapt your proceedure so that you are comfortable. Fairly quick and accurate too. afish4570
