I was just trying to use 5/16 inch dies and the first time the line just slipped through them. The next time I tried I actually twisted the dies together and one of them factory screws was twisted in half. I tried again and got the same result as if the line just goes through the dies the first time. 2 different pieces that require excessive fiddling to get everything lined up for the big nut to screw in. I document this in more detail in my video review, I doubt mine are defective (e.g. I doubt they will be in any condition other than what Cal-Van suggested) and based on feedback from other reviews I doubt that contacting the manufacturer will do me some good So this will probably be my only purchase of Cal-Van tools. I'm not impressed. I would return them if I didn't wait until the window before using them. If you'd like any projects I'm trying to use this tool on, please join me on YouTube with the same username.
