This version seems to have metal gears so hopefully should fare better than its nylon geared predecessor. I have no personal experience with this version though, sorry.Johnnie1000 wrote: Wed Oct 29, 2025 2:42 pm Hello, I'd like a bit of help with IPEs latest version of their worm drive, if possible. I have had my fingers burnt before ( a long time ago) with these products and wondered how these latest ones fared reliability, quality and longevity wise before I chuck forty quid at one. Many thanks in anticipation!

Well, it does look properly engineered. Time will tell. I shall treat myself for a birthday present early next month and see how it goes.ge_rik wrote: Sun Nov 02, 2025 2:46 amThat does look like a good buyJohnnie1000 wrote: Sat Nov 01, 2025 7:07 am It's ok Rik, I have decided to bite the bullet...
