Review on ๐Ÿงถ Stanwood Needlecraft Wooden Umbrella Swift - Medium: Perfect Yarn Winder for Effortless Crafting and Tangle-Free Knitting by Angela Rodriguez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice though. Find a Swift with a metal clip and screw

Very good Swift but the vise to attach to the table is wooden. VERY difficult to screw on and off. Rating Update April 2018 Downgraded from three to two stars. After the screw became so tight that I couldn't get it out or tighten it, I contacted Stanwood and asked for a quick replacement or refund. They were quick to respond and advised me that "wood is very sensitive" to changes in temperature and humidity and that I should heat the clamp to remove the screw. This allowed me to remove the screw. Then they sent two more screws for testing, one of which can be used. It's still a little tight, but it seems to twist and unscrew without much difficulty. However, I'm concerned that seasonal changes in the weather can cause it to get stuck. I also find this in relation to the fact that only one of the three screws can be used. The current wood-to-wood clamp system is, in my opinion, a significant design flaw that can easily be remedied with a metal clamp and screw. I thank the company for the quick response to the problem. However, I cannot recommend this product at this time and regret not having returned it before the deadline to find it with the metal clip and screw system.
