IT WOULD BE EASY TO MAKE THIS A GREAT PRODUCT
I bought 2. So far I have been unable to loosen either drain because someone in the assembly line chose to tighten these down with the force of Atlas. Rather than send them back, even though this drain feature is the reason I chose these among a forest of me-too plastic ones, I'm going to try to get some of my strongest friends to try their luck. The plug is a bit soft, being stainless, and since it's square and of no particular size (though it's a bit less than 8mm) it would be easy to wreck it. Without this serious defect we'd have a 4* product. To get one more star the company would have to document the size of the two replacement O-rings and document the size of the drain plug wrench. Other than these two irritating problems (which would cost zero dollars to correct) I'm very pleased. The thickness of the tank wall is unexpectedly robust, strong enough to withstand the use of an oil filter wrench to secure it while the drain plug is loosened . . . I hope.
Rubbish, toy quality, hard to believe it was tested before being put into production.
Rubbish, toy quality, not even airsoft quality. This soft device is meant to fit 2 adjacent Keymod slots, but only secures to one, with the second just being a locator pin. The QR lever is super fidgety. When I tried to clamp it in place I discovered it couldn't be done because of a molded-in pin that was holding the unit proud, so I hacksawed it off and filed it smooth. Then I was able to sort of clamp the laser to the keymod rail but at the tightest setting it still moves from left to right too much to be considered more than a toy. The design of the mount, the quick release and as another reviewer mentioned, the battery door, is amateurish. Too bad because the form is good and the operations are sensible. I'm sure glad I got the red version instead of the pricier green, since I have to discard it. Until this sad episode I hadn't been disappointed by the NCSTAR brand.
So good I will look for a set of these ITM brand hole saws.
I needed a deep 1 1/8 hole saw to drill 4 holes in a butcher block counter top to install a faucet. After that was done there was no sign of wear on the teeth. Be aware that the arbor requires a 1/2" drill.
