Claim 5:
6. The winding tool of claim 5, wherein the plurality of circumferential vertices of the stellate geometry of the elastomeric plug's cross-section are each angled towards a first rotational direction of the shaft, and wherein, upon insertion of the elastomeric plug into the drum hub, the plurality of circumferential vertices shift in the first rotational direction during compression of the elastomeric plug; and
wherein after insertion of the elastomeric plug into the drum hub, the plurality of circumferential vertices shift in a second rotational direction, opposite the first rotational direction of the shaft, as the shaft is rotated in the first rotational direction, to thereby increase a contact surface area between the outer surface of the elastomeric plug and the inner surface of the drum hub.
