TMBR woodthread axle feedback?

…there IS a learning curve associated with tightening them to make sure they stay together properly, but I’ve never owned one (out of 30+) which came apart consistently when tightened effectively.

Maybe I’m dense, or extremely unlucky then…

I even tried this, and really cranked them tight:

Simple Woodthread Axle Mod

On the TMBR site, Colin instructs: “Thread outer caps into halves in orientation of your choice. Thread axle into one half and seat with finger pressure. Assemble yoyo halves held by fingers tips only (leave the palm grab out of it to prevent over tightening and binding of axle). To take apart, use a US ten cent piece to loosen caps if needed. Enjoy!” However, as I’m sure many of you have experienced, and as I was instructed on this forum, it might be necessary to take a dime and crank the caps…

I like to carry my yoyos in my pocket. That can mean a lot of changes in temp and humidity. That could be “a part” of the problem.
