Review on Mount Double Socket Swivel 1 Inch by Robert Robertson

I got this lever to replace a short single lever shifter, also from Ram. This lever is much better. While one adjuster on the other lever shifted quicker, it was more difficult to manage when everything was loosened at once. With individual controls, it's easy to set everything up in the right places. It takes a little time to loosen and tighten the three different controls, but the extra flexibility makes up for it (literally) - and not by much. Now I can place my devices exactly where I need them and not "like there". My only minor complaint is that this device isn't metal like my other hand. It's very, very strong plastic so should hold up, but I'd prefer the uncompromising strength of metal. I highly doubt this device will be more prone to breakage, but these aren't cheap mounts. In fact it was as much or more than the cost of my metal. It's not so much that I feel like it's poorly made, but that I feel like I'm cutting costs. However, I've had other units (non-ram mounts) that used poor quality metal that ended up shearing off. because it is too fragile. So sometimes plastic works just as well or even better than cheap metal. Long-term use will determine what applies to Ram. Despite the plastic form, it definitely looks well made. However, the inserts for the control knobs are metal, so the parts that break most often are more durable. Unless you're putting too much strain on your hand, the sturdy thickness of the clamps, which fit over the ball joints, should hold up quite well - even with rough use. So I'm not willing to deduct stars unless the thing really breaks. I'm more disappointed than worried about this.
