I can’t see how you managed to do that james, the entire time I’ve used mine it never broke or came apart, in fact the metal that holds the rollers in place isnt even sharp enough to give me a white scratch on me. (Like when you scratch with ur nails) you diffinately get better gains from it I remember from my first 2 days of use I felt like my erections were slightly just sliiiightly thicker. And continueing to use it, with a moderate grip, not death squeezing it, it works best, and if you use it too fast I find it dosnt really do crap all. You need to find the grip that works best with you, I kno when I use it I used a slight to moderate grip and that tends to give me erections, which I do on purpose so I can clamp it down at the base then get the bottom chamber so thick with blood I will pull it upwards ever so slowly, talking bout a good 30 seconds to a minute every rep, feeling it up, not just pulling, and perfrom the “hold and squeeze” works great for ur girth. And besides james, the device so wide you must have been drunk in order for the metal to scratch you man. But even still that would have to be freaking mentally retarded as if ur just trying to scratch it, I can’t see how you possibly did that. Hell I can’t even scratch it like how you described even if I tried, this device is totally worth it guys, I’m telling you my erections are considerably bigger from using it. And the online instruction are bullshit the guy in the video is using it much too fast and I tried going at the speed he is using it and I find that it dosnt really effectively push the blood to the head, just kinda deflates sort of on every rep and dosnt hold the blood in chambers that are ahead of the rollers, if ur going that fast. Moderate grip like a handshake strength, unless ur one of those freaks that try and prove shit with a firm fricking grip, works best. Like 5 seconds or MORE every rep. No less. Do it gently and just watch ur dick go through the motions, you will understand this thing is extremely effective. Hand jelqing I can’t even think about going back to, nor can I understand how it would even work, this device is the only way I will ever jelq, ever, even if it broke, I wouldn’t bother hand jelqing man. Id wait till I had another one comming to me. Hand jelqing is so inferior to this thing it’s not even funny. Honestly I tried hand jelqing on and off for a half year and just really didnt see nothing comming from it, I even thought jelqing was a bunch a b.s! But I seen this device and figured, I really want to check this out, hand jelqing didnt really seem legit to me. Felt kinda weak man. As soon as I got this device I had to get used to it, but you get used to it so fast, my first session I was just playing with it all morning. Learning it, and the second time I used it, it was like I had it down, completely. Now I been jelqing with this thing a couple times a day nearly every day since I got it. And I will NEVER even bother with hand jelqs, as a matter of fact, I still believe hand jelqing dosnt even work, and this device is the only way I will ever jelq again. Period. And I wouldn’t try to make my own, I dunno, just seems kinda hokey. Experiance the real thing. But thats just me. I know hand jelqing probably does work, but for me it’s just kinda cavemanish to do it that way, just my opinion. And jelqing with this thing is plain fun, addictive, and satisfying, actually feels like you got something accomplished, main reason I will never hand jelq again, and only exercise with this thing. And you actually look forward to jelqing. And while your jelqing with this thing, it’s just fun to watch ur penis go through the motions with it, keeps ur mind occupied. Weird, I dunno, I give this thing 10/10 man. It’s a godsend. Can’t say enough about it. It’s durable, and if you do have a problem with the rollers comming off, which I totally find hard to believe, you can take out the rollers, squeeze the left and right side of it together and it will stay tight. The metal on it isnt very bendable so when you actually adjust it it will stay like that, permanently. Wonderful product guys. Seriously!
