At least 12 to 14 clicks, then back off & another 14 to 16 clicks. You're good to go.

WTF is with that slippery cheap TP found in public restrooms. It doesn't come close to making a clean wipe. You need like a hundred sheets just to do a halfassed job!




APT = Anti Poke Through






Sorry for the diversion but some questions just can't wait!
2 words.......Flushable wet wipes ......well 3 words.....them things will clean a sphincter really good.

OK, so on my way to work this morning, I wanted to test the 3 click vs 6 click difference. There is a definite "seat of the pants" feel that the 6 click has more off the line torque. I then went up to 8 clicks and a drastic fall of of mid range power. I'm gonna stick to 6 clicks moving forward. YMMV.

Go 4 clicks, then back off 1. It seats the threads.

He said usually up my a$$ unless he already has a butt plug there. We of course laughed. You just have to know Jim and a greater friend a man could not have. Also has the patience of Job and most excellent at anything he does. I truly do envy my friend Jim.... Love ya brother!!!! (Jim that is) AKA nytrider.

My post was mostly tongue-in-cheek as I explained in another thread. lol He can still claim the prize though.
