C-Frame question
Has anyone successfully used the c-frame from aircraft tool supply? I ordered one a few months ago and attempted to use it on a practice kit. The shaft apparently got bent very easily and the dies no longer stayed aligned. I sent it back in as the top arm also had a bushing issue (it was tilted back). I just received the warranty replacement and after dimpling a couple of holes the shaft is now bent again. I am not hitting it excessively hard as I stop when I hear the pitch change. I don't know if they just use a low quality steel or what the deal is but I'm getting pretty dang frustrated with this whole ordeal. I guess my question is has anyone else had this happen? Should I just throw this thing in the garbage and order one from Cleaveland? I probably should have ordered from Cleaveland to begin with but hindsight is 20/20 Thank you for the replies
