Title: Get what you pay for.
Product review: Despite reading the some of the bad reviews here, I decided to purchase this anyways. The threads were crappy, as stated in the bad reviews, so I decided to try to fix it. First thing I did was try to screw down both ends to their stops. One went down easy; the other needed help to go down. It kept getting stuck at one point showing that the thread rods do suck and have bad threads due to cheap metal. I proceeded to force it all the way down and the threads fixed themselves, although not perfect. I am going to borrow a thread and dye set from work and repair the thread rod and the screws/knobs (whatever they are called) and see how it works. For the price it's not bad. I'll try to take pictures of the threads before and after, under my microscope, and post them here
