I agree, that one-hand lock and release is pretty darn slick and I'll probably purchase one in the near future, I just hate to send another item to the landfill that I might be able to salvage and use as a back-up or spare. I planned to wrap the grip shaft in a thin material (paper or clay) that could be dissolved after the molded plastic grip hardened to allow clearance to freely rotate. After further consideration I think I'll put this project on the back burner and purchase a Lewmar, too many other more important things to get done first. Will post photos or video if I ever get around to it. Thanks.
