Line 91:
The most recently marketed pegs of this sort use [[planetary gears]] designed to fit inside a case shaped like a friction peg.

They are also durable and less sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity.<ref>{{cite web |title=Information – Perfection pegs |url=https://perfectionpegs.twofold.com.au/information/ |website=perfectionpegs.twofold.com.au |accessdate=10 August 2019}}</ref>
