Review on πŸ”© Buy Ticon Industries 3" Stainless Steel V-Band Clamp - Heavy Duty Bolt - 119-07600-0000 (1 piece) by Fred Meeks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good, but not perfect

As already mentioned, be careful with the nut. Mine started to bind as soon as I started tightening it. I sprayed some penetrating lube on it and everything went smoothly. If I just turned it on, I'm sure the threads would be damaged. The part of the clamp that rotates and holds the tee on the end of the bolt is a bit flimsy. I found myself using my small vise to make sure I didn't poke the snot out of those hinges while tightening the nut. Let's see if that nut gives me trouble later when it's time to shoot. I'm already wondering if it wouldn't be better to replace it with a lock washer and standard non-locking nut. All in all a solid purchase and a lot better than the cheap V-Clip I had which would eventually fail.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Vulgarity
