This review is from: Axis Pro Clutch Hi-Hat Cymbal Clutch

The problem with traditional hihat clutches is, of course, hihat felts. They wear out in just a few months, causing the hihat "feel" to change. I have tried conical rubber "felts" with a traditional clutch, and these worked well for me. Until the night the plastic bottom clutch washer broke, forcing me to play a set with duct tape holding what remained of the washer in place! So I decided to try this clutch, because it has NO felts to wear out, and the bottom washer is aluminum, not plastic. I wondered, however, how the "feel" would be. In a word, GREAT! This clutch allows VERY precise hihat positioning, and its durable construction and lockable settings should give years of dependable use with NO change in feel. HIGHLY recommended!!!

PROS:
It is everything it is cracked up to be. Works, adjustments are cool, Will not come lose. Hi-Hat sounds great.

EXCEPT...
The adjustment screw is made of hollow plastic! How strong is that?? I just happen to glance at it at mid song and the head was missing. It is not like I can just go to the local hardware store to replace it. It is a special hollow allen screw with a nylon center, meant to not wear against your Hi-Hat. So Now I guess I will be contacting AXIS to order like a DOZEN of these wimpy screws cause they WILL break again!
They can break if you drop it on the ground, toss it in with the rest of your stands, hit it with a stick or look at it wrong. Bummer, cause I really like this thing. Minor annoying detail. So now I've got this broken
hi-dollar device that didn't make it thru thru the first gig. I'm back to my old trusty dinosaur Hi-Hat clutch. rrrr
