Stiff to operate
It was good at first, but after just a few weeks the slider to lock it became very difficult to use, or got completely stuck – then you can’t release the lead at all. That’s really bad in an “emergency”, as your only option is to let go. I bought it because it’s lighter than the comparable Flexi, but if it doesn’t work, that’s no help either. I’ll go back to the tried and tested Flexi and just have to put up with the extra weight.
