I Hope It's Not the Best Heavy Duty

I Hope It's Not the Best Heavy Duty
Don't let my pictures fool you, it comes assembled. I just thought I'd take it apart to line the high and low sides up with a screw hole; but as you can see, there is no way to do that. That is my biggest issue with this product.Do not pull the bottom 3/4 in. nut off the bottom, you will tear the crap out of the plastic. The adjusting bolt makes the same noise as you play with it. The adjusting bolt on the top is 9/16 and the bottom is 3/4.Wasn't exactly advertised as pre-pitted and scratched but that's what you can expect. Mechanically it's fine, in fact it's what you'd expect from something this price. I just wish they would more clearly label that on the market page.The page of instructions that comes with is wonderful. It says a lot that many people do not know about getting good sound from your set-up.The spring is exactly what you should expect, no complaints with it.The shipping was abhorrent. Spring and ball loose in a box, my friend thought I had to assemble the whole thing by the sounds it could make. That probably didn't help the pitting problem.All in all, eight out of ten for the money. If you want a ball mount for cheap, and don't care that it's not showroom quality, this is what you want to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2021
The ball mount is perfect no complaints. The reason for 4.5 stars is in the description and instructions it shows stripping the coax cable and add wire connectors. The ball mount I receive has a connector for PL-259 cable end. Of course this is a better way to connect the coax cable.
