Beautifully machined, with super smooth movement of the CW on the rod. Only issue I’ve found is that the thread inside the rod goes in the same direction as the thread on the outside. I had 2 CWs stuck against each other on the rod (because I did something stupid) and couldn’t get them off. It was impossible to put any counter force on the rod by screwing something in to it, as the screw into it unscrews in the same direction as the force needed to get the CWs off…
