I bend the ball end of the string to give it a "C" shaped curve; it makes stringing super easy. I used to use pliers, but I've learned to to it by hand in a simple pinch and twist motion. One can also use a capo to hold the string taut while trimming and winding the other end about the tuner post. :D
