New O-ring style product from L-style (also Paul Lim in silly cat ears)

[JDorks]

I cant find anymore information about them though so i guess they wont be available any time soon.

Do you guys think these would work as good as shown ? do you feel as though they are needed or plan on getting some ?

Can't see a problem just using normal O rings myself - if there is anything sticking out between the barrel and the stem then you are using the wrong size O ring

[Getagrip]

seems a faff to me and a product that's not necessary and yet more waste to throw away!

ok for alloy stems but I think silicon O rings work fine for that and you can usually re=use them.

A roll of PTF (plumbers) tape does the same job and costs peanuts.

[Getagrip]

yep exactly

This works wonders too and thinner than tape.

PTFE tape works a treat because it slides into the threads, but I guess the GOMU is for convenience.

The problem with correctly sized o-rings, it might still stick out a little if the end of the barrel is not chamfered or counter-sunk, something which anyone can easily do themselves. Same thing for the front of 2BA double-threaded barrels.

For those using non metal stems, if it constantly comes loose and nothing is wrong with the threads, using rubber inner tube on the shafts and barrel to help you tighten it like crazy, provided you don't strip the threads! Lol! You can also add some candle wax to the shaft threads before tightening if you don't want to fiddle around with PTFE tape, don't want to use o-rings / don't want to counter-sink your barrels.

I won't buy this and I am a sucker for most things. Its kind of my routine to twist the stems and tap the flights while I walk back from the board. Most of the time it's totally unnecessary but it's routine now.

I might try this, if the price is right. Totally not the cat ears that sold it for me, lol Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

Real talk these look alright. Price will factor into whether I try them though.
