Doesn't have the metal bar at the end to make the cuff tighter by pulling it through it. How hard/easy is it to put it properly on your arm, YOURSELF?

The metal bar to pull through would have been helpful. Too bad this particular one doesn't have that.

Well, it's not the easiest thing to get in and out of. I have issues pulling my arms out of the sleeves the most, especially when it's wet, so much so, that I worry I may rip it. However, the shirt has not even frayed, so I suppose it's meant to have the pressure. The neck hole in particular, has not been too much of an issue.

First, it DOES feel like you're going to break it when you try to open it. But here's how you do it... After you twist the metal sleeve to unlock it and slide it off, you then pull the entire black plastic top section (that the metal outer sleeve was covering) off from the clear part. There should have been instructions w/your unit that might explain better than I am here.

The arm cuff secures with Velcro to fit a range of sizes for an average adult arm. The actual guage is not adjustable, that I know of, but doubt you'd want to mess with it anyway. Hope that helps!

I have found it is more of a technique issue as opposed to a brute strength issue. I can pop it off in under a second...but I've gotten used to doing it. Just practice doing a "press & pull", it'll smooth out!

when taking it off you need to apply some force but not too much. I took it off by pulling up in a "hook" motion towards myself

It is justable by squeezing it or pulling it open wider. However I found it to loosen after a while and fall off my arm. So keep track of it if you buy it.

Once you've unscrewed the cuff and fully inserted the attachment past the ring wrapping around the attachments nozzle, tightening the cuff isn't keeping the attachment in?

I had problems getting the wrist strap 'threaded' into the opening, its a "royal pain" for old hands like mine! But I asked my adult son to help, and he was able to get it threaded through the opening and attached for me. Since he got it attached, I didn't try this, but the narrow point of needle-nose pliers might slide into the opening enough to help you pull the loop through, you then thread the strap through the loop to finish the job. Good luck! I would be leery of opening the the back of the device to get access to the opening. I don't have access to the device right now, I can't say for sure...

Don't think so. Mine works perfectly with just the screw and I have no memory of any type of sleeve provided in the package. Of course, it is not necessary to screw down excessively to hold the arm in the desired position...just a little less than "hand tight" should be fine and you won't distort (i.e., "crush inward") the arm. I use it during grooming of our two Miniature Schnauzers and, once set, haven't had to adjust it.

There is no specific thing like plastic part for instance to "adjust". Basically you adjust the tightness by pulling one of the strap to velcroAdjust here i think it means tightness.I like to make it tight but my armpit suffer by constant scratch and pressure after 1 hour of user and my skin start feeling pain.I had t-shirt underneath but it wasn't really helpful.This product does not have enough force to pull ur back straight. You can still be curly back and feel pain. But when i straight my back, then i had less scratch and pressure.

I put both hand in each loop and twisted it in opposite directions. After you finally get it around your shoulders it's really uncomfortable. It's all wadded up under your arm pits and the only way to smooth it out is to have someone else help! I was worn out by the time I finally got it on. To tell you the truth, it's now in my hall closet. Good luck!

no. It's made for your arm, in fact, it's a bit big on my arm actually, I have to pull it very tight. It will not fit on your wrist or even your forearm without falling off.

It is very easy to put on by yourself. It is stiffer than the old fabric cuffs. I tried it several times just to be sure. Put it under your armpit and hold your arm firmly to your rib cage. Wrap with other arm. I generally cheat. I have a pen mark on the cuff that shows my size. I close the cuff and then slip it on like a bracelet. Voila.

I did what is mentioned here.. got it on the shoulder.. but how do I avoid it slinging.. it's still loose hanging loop?

It requires removal from the wrist strap and placement on the wearer's finger. Hope this helps. It is a great product though.

the cover is at the end of the short part of the arm. you really don't push the little cover off, you pull it straight out and off
