Does it have a crisp break rather than trigger creep like some others? Also, does it stop overtravel & is as dependable as advertised? Joe

This trigger has a nice wall followed by a clean crisp break. The trick is to make sure you file it flat. As far as over travel goes, since you are having to file to fit, you can control the amount. Peronaly I fit it to where it would unreliably fire then took an additional .005" off. I have had zero problems with this trigger, and the overtravel is not even noticeable now.

Yes for all. Although, the only way to make sure you don't over travel is not to over file the tab (shorten it too much). There's a lot of trial and error with filing, reinstalling can't pull the trigger back? Manually decock, disassemble file a hair more, re-assemble and try again and so on until the trigger "fires". It's easy just a little time consuming. I guess the amount of filing depends on the model. I did it for a 21-- and I love it now...

You have to hit it to shut it off. But I must say that this item is worth it, it's so smooth on both levels. I use it and family members use it for every part of the body that hurts. We now have 3 on them in use and we traveled with 1 or 2.

My trailer is 10,000 lbs. and this is the beat brake controller I have ever used. I have been through 4 other controllers from well known companies and none compare to the effectiveness and programmability this one offers. I highly recommend it. We travel all up down the west coast from Alaska to Mexico and back putting on around 12,000 miles a year. Hope that helps some.

The brake seems to work fine. I have not really needed to use it much - just to slow down if I get going too fast in the grocery store or something. I just haven't needed to use it. But the few times I have used it, it stopped me without any trouble. I had read that maybe dual brakes would be better, but this one has been just fine for me!!

All the times mine got triggered while not running it released easily. The one time the brake on mine wouldn't release was when it got accidentally triggered while running cutting a log. It just would not release no matter how hard I pulled back. I loosened the tension on the chain completely and then it released. Good luck and let us know what worked for you.

The handle turns fairly easy. Going down I've found it works best if you have the brake off and the transmission disengaged. If not it does not go down smoothly and jerks.

It does have a really touchy trigger but can start out pretty slow. It starts a lot slower than my similar Dewalt. You just have to be careful because there is a fine line between being just right & making a mess... (btw I've had this drill over 2 years now & use it hard everyday. Not 1 problem. )Good luck

I used the light on my 12 mile daily commute to and from work. Part of that commute takes me over some rough terrain. I've had my Cygolite for two weeks mounted to the front forks. Lights had stayed in place. As a matter of fact, yesterday I broke a screw which holds my rear rack to frame after running over some a man hole cover which had been dislodged out of place.

It shifts at about 15/20 mph but it locked up on me within a week. It was smooth when it worked but I never bothered replacing it. I'd recommend it but I have read a lot of reviews from riders having the same problem I did.

I've never experienced a skip with mine over the three to four months I've had it, and I had a vehicle that vibrates quite a bit.

Yes is does. Which is why I really love this impact! Although in the #1 setting it doesn't make much of a difference. You really don't feel much trigger control, because it's such a low speed.

It's probably the most solid lock out there, along with the compression lock, AXIS-lock, and lock-back... or a good titanium framelock (there's a good variety out there). The spring pressure is constant and stiff, and I'd wager my life on this lock. It won't fail. As far as accidentally releasing the lock in the middle of hard use, I've been trying to figure out what you'd have to be doing for that to happen... I think this design is the one least likely to be tripped by accident. It's easier to inadvertently trip an axis or compression lock than this one, and those two are very well designed.

I have used the Mountek nGroove 6000g CD a few times. If the road is rough you might get some jiggling, but on most roads, I have experienced little or no jiggle.

I haven't had any problems with it this far. Assuming you don't trim the strip improperly, it should last quite a log time. I've used the stop for long and short durations without issue.

from my use it does not move at all when off----no slipping. not sure if it has a break? Works good.

No, I don't. I haven't had that problem but I'm not all that impressed with this device anyway. The trigger is not terribly comfortable and the trigger lock won't keep the flow at maximum.

Disappointingly enough, it is. I was not aware when I ordered it. It is working fine now but who knows how long that will last. My other one, a real Hitachi, is actually doing okay. I had not used it in a while and when I did it sounded different. Still had power but I thought it might be on it's way out. We can't have that! It is the speed controller that sent me over the edge. I plan to use the knockoff til it passes away and then go back to the real one. I would recommend getting a speed controller alone. Am pretty sure they sell them separately.
