If available I have someone hold the hook with the cable extended, as I
guide it back on. If no help is available, a tight grip on the cable while
being re-spooled will do.

Yup, this is all that is needed to respool. Use gloves too :)

Keith - you'll like the XD9000i. No problems yet with mine, and it sure
