  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Ti Stix, should I have bought Ronford?

Hi All,

I've got a set of these Ti Stix as featured by (but not purchased from!) Visual products:
http://www.visualproducts.com/storeProductDetail03.asp?productID=850&Cat=48&Cat2=52&Cat3=134

I can't seem to get them to fit the spreader properly- the rubber/plastic guards on the bottom of the legs don't fit into the holes on the spreader properly, they barely sit in them at all. Anyone else have this problem... anyone have a work around??? It's a pretty big flaw in the product if you ask me- should I have just gone with Ronford? My AC's are complaining... I want to make sure they don't have to deal with shoddy kit!

My supplier (not Visual products) is pretty useless so I'm putting it out there! Anyone??

Thanks!

Ben
 
I'm not familiar with this brand, but I'd try different spreaders - or a 4x4 foot square piece of spare carpet.
 
You need to take off those rubber guards. They are to protect the surface that you may use them on if not using a spreader. If you take them off, you will be able to fit them into the spreader. I usually use the inside spike but the outside spike works as well. Also the spreader will collapse inside the legs. I have been using these and they are basically the same as ronford legs so nobody should complain since they also are lighter than the ronfords. Just have a phillip head screwdriver around and periodically check all of the screws on the legs since they occasionally come loose.
 
What Steve said. I have several sets of these and they're really very nice; seemingly as rugged as the Ronfords but weigh less.
I recommend ONLY using the inside spike. They "lock in" a bit better and you really have to try hard to accidentally pop them out.
I actually removed each and every screw (times two sets of standards AND babies!) and put light duty Threadlocker in them... which is what the manufacturer should have been doing anyway.
Cheers,
Harry
