Does it have a crisp break rather than trigger creep like some others? Also, does it stop overtravel &amp; is as dependable as advertised? Joe

Yes for all. Although, the only way to make sure you don't over travel is not to over file the tab (shorten it too much). There's a lot of trial and error with filing, reinstalling can't pull the trigger back? Manually decock, disassemble file a hair more, re-assemble and try again and so on until the trigger "fires". It's easy just a little time consuming. I guess the amount of filing depends on the model. I did it for a 21-- and I love it now...

No, I haven't had a problem with the trigger. I keep it pushed in while I am cleaning the carpet, & don't touch it while I am in the drying stage. If I take my finger off the trigger it stops generating fluid. I don't know if this helped or not.

I have had my unit for about 6 months now and it has yet to fail on a continuous use basis. I have been able to accept sync ups from other brands and as long as were within 800 feet of each other it works well. I am unsure about off road usage as I am a highway man however a fellow rider that rides off-road does in fact have the same unit cites that he has little issues. Depending on the terrain and distance were the only two reported issues. otherwise, money and effort well spent. If there is concern of clarity of transmission and microphone, I've been impressed. It does offer background noise suppression, and I just received the newest update and I have noticed a small improvement in connectivity to other units. (Not sure if it was supposed to happen but I synced up with a DPS officer. Ticket avoided!!)

The recoil only stops when you're at the end of the line. It's spring-loaded and the inline volume control will recoil through the mechanism. It's fine if you don't mind that happening.

I found that it worked great. To be honest over time (year) it started to vibrate more but certainly it did well for a good period of time. From talking to a lot of people these types of units (all makes) are about as good as each other but I certainly thought this is the best of the bunch. If you are doing a lot of high impact rides then I think it will wear down more quickly

Do you mean on-screen smoothness? I find it smooth, but unfortunately it has excessive drift after acceleration. This could just be a problem with mine, but it's pretty annoying on a larger screen. This is well beyond the 'standard' trackpoint drift that corrects itself quicky.

I keep mine set up on "Highway" which is the most sensitive. I rarely get what I would call a false reading. I have been on 3 long trips with it & use it driving 17 miles one way to & from work on the interstate 5 days a week.

mine stopped after years of light use... if i press the two buttons on either side , it worked for another 10-15 min ... it seemed like something lost contact.... there are some replacement parts that wear.. i am not mechanical.. i feel i got good use from it..i will another.. it is a unique product... as pro bodyworker, my clients love the scalp massage and sometime i add shoulders and other muscle groups... you can never put a price on good vibrations that benefit the body... buy another like i am doing, save directions for maintenance... i am sure i could have done better job in that arena... good luck and keep circulating.. mine stopped after years of light use... if i press the two buttons on either side , it worked for another 10-15 min ... it seemed like something lost contact.... there are some replacement parts that wear.. i am not mechanical.. i feel i got good use from it..i will another.. it is a unique product... as pro bodyworker, my clients love the scalp massage and sometime i add shoulders and other muscle groups... you can never put a price on good vibrations that benefit the body... buy another like i am doing, save directions for maintenance... i am sure i could have done better job in that... » Read More mine stopped after years of light use... if i press the two buttons on either side , it worked for another 10-15 min ... it seemed like something lost contact.... there are some replacement parts that wear.. i am not mechanical.. i feel i got good use from it..i will another.. it is a unique product... as pro bodyworker, my clients love the scalp massage and sometime i add shoulders and other muscle groups... you can never put a price on good vibrations that benefit the body... buy another like i am doing, save directions for maintenance... i am sure i could have done better job in that arena... good luck and keep circulating.. « Show Less

YES! That "temporary" over ride feature is exactly why I picked this timer. It's kind of rare. I definitely recommend it. Mine has ran every day for over 14 months without any problems.

I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall. The heavier snow took a little bit more care so as not to trip the circuit breaker, but it handled packed and wet slushy snow just fine. This morning I cleared a 150x45 parking area for a local church without any trouble at all. It kept up well with a gas powered snow blower! I had to be careful when attacking the packed clumps of snow along the edge where the county snow plows had been, but this little snow beast didn't skip a beat. One tip - check the blades after a couple of hours of use and make sure to tighten any which are loose. I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall.

No trouble at all. I've used this many times at that speed for long distances and had no issues. Haven't gone past 85 though.

I haven't useed it since October, but I don't remember ever having to worry about the blade spinning once the trigger is released. So yes I do believe it has a break.

I didn't know they had a problem with the trigger but the two I bought a few months ago both have a very await ove trigger. Be careful but I love mine.

I haven't had any issues with it, but then, I don't handle it all that rough.The same company also makes the JobRocker, which has a guard rail around it and is meant to be rough and tumble... might be worth looking into...

It jams once in a while, but usually because of a bad dart. It is very consistent for me, and when it does jam, it is very easily fixed as compared to the rapid strike. I own both and the ravyen wins every time.

Trigger feels good. Not super light but it is crisp. I picked it up out of the box and it's been dead on every shot.

John, It has variable speeds. Depending on how hard you pull the trigger it will go from crawling to full out.
