Hi aarzakk-
> For some reason the clamp (I’m using the medium, the large looked way too big) doesn’t want to fit right, and I’m seeing that it’s explained I should be able to get a few clicks and on the first click it bunches the material up and pinches my skin.<
Are you using a wrap? I ask because a wrap should prevent any pinching. If you are are wrapping:
A. You may be wrapping too loosely - this might explain how it is even possible to “pinch” skin (Ive never experienced pinch w/ the Wench)
B. You may be using too much wrap material. Use as little as it takes to give the internal wench something to grab onto.
No need for exact numbers but is your personal girth what would be considered above or below average? (use 5” erect girth as an average)
>I did make it according to the directions minus I’m using the circle Grippers since that’s all they had. It just seems like the material’s too thick and when i put the clamp on I have to force it into one click. That’s enough to bundle the velcro and pinch the skin.<
These circle grippers you speak of - are they currently cut into the 1x2” rectangular shape?
What material is too thick - the grippers or velcro?
> It seems that even with a bigger clamp it will still do the same thing as I start tightening it.<
This makes me think that you need to become better adept at putting on the Wench. Revisit the instructions about properly applying a “squeeze-hand” etc. You should feel a nice hug on your shaft before you apply the clamp. Nothing about the wench should feel loose prior to clamping.
>Damnit! I want to hang so bad because these manuals aren’t doing anything for me except hurting the hell out of my hands. I need some length.<
Don’t get frustrated. Experiment with the Wench - it’s good for that. Make another one if this one refuses to cooperate. I’m glad to hear you’ve ordered a production model Bib. It will be no less complicated than the Wench, I can assure you, but you will be a much wiser hanger once you’ve learned to use it. Paradoxically, once you understand the Bib I think you’ll see the Wench for what it is. I think WannaB9x7 excellently sums this up in the last paragraph of his post before yours.
Thanks
