Casting split where the gauge threads in on the very first use. Unsure whether to even return for replacement, very skeptical of the quality now.

I think this tool will be very useful. It will require practice. My first few loops were not quite right.
I'll need some cheap, dead soft 20 gauge wire.
I wish there were versions for other wire gauges.

Not split. Had to use a razorblade to open the wire guard and then it didn't close properly.
The seller has offered to refund my purchase entirely. I don't think that is fair to them. I just hope the quality control is improved.

I gave it 4 stars, but
beware, the casters that were offered in a multi buy, did not screw in this shelf unit. The shelf legs are threaded in 8mm x 1.24 , and the casters stem threads are 3/8 x 16 thread. I was going to return the casters, but decided to buy a 3/8 x16 tap at a local auto parts, and after about an hour , got the casters on.

Part seems to work fine and fixed my problem.  The issue was that the casting was smaller then the original.  So after bottoming out the screws and having to take the part back off and add washers then all was good.  Extra work Not Good!!!

Unfortunatly my package must of took a hit on the way here.  I casted about 100 bullets to test it out and i had some horrible lines where the blocks met.  So it must of got knocked out of alignment.  So this mold i must tap around a little bit to get it aligned right.  Excellent cast quality for the price but the fact the molds can get misaligned so easily is ehy i gave it four instead of five

I have used a few dozen of these GB clamps and in various sizes and they all split over time (less than a year) even in a household ambient environment.  The splits usually occur across the loop though some have split and severed along the base near the mounting flange.  Note that the loop was not under interior stress either; meaning that they were used to clamp data wire and all had an air gap within the closed loop.

I recommend using nylon instead of these plastic clamps, you will be glad you did.

So So casting quality. The center bolt how was offset from side to side. The casting sand must have cracked creating what at first appeared to be a crack in the casting. I used a pair on top and bottom to avoid alignment issues of U-bolts going thru the lower plate on my Camaro. I opened up the holes so the bolt with spacing washers would slide right thru and i could get the height i wanted to engage the diff alignment hole. Used only a lower pad/cushion with a rubber strip between top shim and diff. When used in pairs the top and bottom face in opposite directions

Cracked in half just like others have posted.  Very weak casting. I would suggest you do not use the 3/8 socket hole and use a larger socket over the protruding part to avoid splitting this in half.

Wire should be thicker gauge.  Screw that tighened terminals sheared off, other than that it was fine

Threading 3/8 NPT with a hex die is abusive tool use, no matter what hex die you use.  My application was mild steel solid bar, and I turned the appropriate taper on the blank before starting.  Even with that head start, I did not have access to a correctly sized die handle, and had to make due with an automotive spindle socket and 2 foot breaker bar.  Even then, you need the 300 lb gorilla in the shop to run the thread to completion, especially if you fail to get the alignment perfect.  And if you do wind up not perfectly aligned, expect to tear out some of the threads.  Not saying that there is any issue at all with this die, just explaining the challenges of a hex die for threading this size, and a pipe threading head likely makes more sense.

Modified to used in a magnetic stir plate. There is quite a bit of inline shaft movement in between Motor/blade assembly and fan housing

There was an error in the cast (?) metal on the right support about 1/2 inch in length and pretty deep. It's only noticeable up close. Installation was easy and all required parts were included. I used red loctite and the torqued to spec for each piece.

The smallest of these are too large to be used for 16 gauge and above.  This is somewhat of a misrepresentation and I could not use them for what I wanted. Otherwise, for larger wire gaue it is fine

I've experienced some poorly wound spools from other vendors, but this spool was likely impacted by the fact that it wasn't wound as one continuous thread. This can be particularly annoying when you start a long print thinking that you have plenty of filament only to return to find that you should have been around to help feed the filament where a break occurred. I'm hoping that the rest of this spool will be one continuous piece of filament though I can already tell that I'll likely have to deal with the winding issue until the contents of the spool have been consumed. It's a shame because it is a very nice shade of green.

I have always favored split rings over setscrew/lead ball  on the thread impingement holding. They are well made and Hornady makes 2 types of needed wrenches for them. I have both their propriatory aluminum and the punched steel version. Both serve their purpose.

I have found after using this product it stretches out of shape and cannot be used on smaller spools of thread.  The spool huggers do not retain their shape.  I would not be buying this again. :-(
