I stripped a servo arm with it set like the "S" manual recommends. But if you loosen it too much the collar is strictly on the thin part of the post. Seems to be working ok now that I've found a happy medium... tight enough to get a grip on the thicker part of the post and loose enough to actually work as a "saver".
Yeah ive never been able to jam one on as tight as it says on the manual. I usually do it up as tight as possible with my fingers then leave it. (However, if you dont do it up tight enough it can come undone).
