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 ones without the metal bar (D-ring) for tightening are MUCH harder to use on yourself!!! If you are the only one using it, though, once you (finally) get it adjusted right you can just slip it on and off without loosening it. Having the D-rind makes a world of difference, especially for using to take your own blood pressure.

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

I could not put it on by myself but part of that is because I have a stiff shoulder. If you have someone help you, especially to tighten it, then it might work. I, myself, could not do it alone. The small size was a part of the reason why. As for why some find it easy and others don't, I have no explanation.

It's all about pressure. If you are speaking of the red sleeve area pictured, really any ring area you must not screw in tight till all are joined. Just attach or screw in enough for the screw to stay. I don't have my instructions right now so I suggest you do not tighten till the ring is complete.

With the arm fully extended there is a black plastic lock nut where it transitions from the larger bottom tube to the top smaller tube, that nut needs to be tight.

So after contacting mount-it customer support and trying. The hex bit that is in the part that lifts the arm needed to be tightened counter-clockwise. (not clockwise) and it just keeps tightening and doesn't seem to stop. Also there were parts on there that looked like you could put a quarter on and turn it but that was not the case. Anyway the arm lifting part nut turned counter-clockwise a lot. seems to stiffen the thing and give me more control. Im ight keep it now.

Well, that's the only down fall of the Shield. I had to hot glue gun the the metal part of the strap to keep from coming off. But after doing that it was just fine. The strap is velcro. Make a little loop so that you can put your arm through it and tighten the strap if you need to. It just wraps around part of the forearm and place the handle on the other side of it so you can grip it.

Yes it does, I prefer this cuff because it is softer than the original cuff that came with it which is very stiff and difficult to put iton tight by yourself. I highly recommend this cuff.

I am but with some difficulty. The brace is rather small and the Velcro sometimes comes undone. It depends on how far back you can reach with your arm to be able to put it on yourself.

Loosen the cuff slightly by turning the left - no needed to remove the cuff just loosen slight then insert the attachment and tighten the cuff by turning to the right.

The sleeve slides over the ends of a standard weight lifting bar so that you can use Olympic style weight plates. Once you slide it on you must secure it with the screw which is suppose to hold it in place. However, there is no specific location on the standard bar for it to join up with, so you must occasionally tighten the screws to prevent it from sliding off.

On mine, you just lift the tab closest to the lanyard on the short side of the clip and it will open the jaws on the opposite end that can then clamp on your clothing. Mine was a little stiff at first so you might just not be applying enough pressure. hope that helps

Yes the cuff can be easily placed with one hand. It's very easy to put on and take off

Hi put the strap over your shoulder , with one arm out . Make sure the smaller strap is hanging down, pull it under your arm and click the two ends together. If you go back to amazon website and click on the small boxes , you will see how it connects under the left arm pit .then it allows you to pull it freely with your right hand as it hangs on your right side .hope this helps

Is very easy. Use both of your fingers to pull it out, you can also adjust it. The first time takes more time but then is very easy.

I remember being puzzled as well because it looks impossible to push the single band through the buckle but it is not. It is easy in fact. I found a video on Youtube. A picture is worth 1000 words and a video even more. A very little mount of force is actually required to push the metal end through the buckle.

Yes, you do have to apply some pressure though not a lot. You could probably do it with the opposite arm. Hope this helps.

the band is bendable but stays it's shape like the picture when untouched. material feels rubbery to touch. even with vigorous activity it won't fall off unless it's physically being ripped off your arm or if it's loose on you (size is too big). the way you get your arm in the band is to slip your wrist in at the opening by pulling the band apart where the ends of the band crossover each other.
