Thanks for posting, both of you... I'm always searching for the best compromise. The personal fan I tried (probably not the one mentioned here) had so little power that it stalled out before achieveing a good tension/ frequency of twists, and the resulting leader was furled too loosely. Same for the hair-briader I tried. The drill I presently use is great, but I can get "tennis elbow" if I use it too much in one day.
