1. A condenser coil fin repair tool comprising: a generally planar shaped base and a plurality of metal pins,
the pins' cross-sectional diameter being small enough to fit in grooves between adjacent fins of a condenser coil,
the base further comprising a vibrational source connector region,
the pins having a first end imbedded into to the base edge such that the pins' longitudinal axes extends perpendicularly out from the edge,
the pins being spaced apart and having a second end configured to enter non-adjacent grooves between fins in a condenser coil fin array,
wherein the tool is configured such that when attached to a vibrational source by way of the vibrational source connector region, the pins can be inserted into the non-adjacent grooves of the fin array near an area of bent fins and the tool can be readily advanced through the area, straightening the bent fins and thus repairing the condenser coil.
