I posted this on a different board before I found this one today
so I am reposting it here


Some of  you may remember, or not,  I modified my Universal tool support (UTS) by cutting in the threads and using a fine thread nut for the adjuster.  It worked very well for me.
But when I was ordering parts from SharpTools, so I ordered one of the New ones that are factory threaded.

Since I got the new one, I have been very disappointed in it.  When I go to adjust it, I am constantly loosening the lock knob and finding it is already loose.
The UTS is so tight in the support base that I have to pull it up with two hands,  to adjust it I have to lift it and then turn the knob and then bang in back down.

Why is this thing so tight,  Should I be waxing or polishing the legs to make them slide easily or maybe there is something I need to add to the base, should I add 3in1 oil to it?
I have gone back to my old UTS because it fits and works perfectly.  

What do I need to do to make this work properly and/or fit properly.  I am open to suggestions and recommendations
