It's sloppy, but might be very useful for a high torque, low-speed application like raising an arm, aiming a device or raising and lowering a retractable caster wheel. Item # 93645. Just a thought.
Do you have the complete item number for the $16.99 sale price? It comes up at $29.99 on the HF website and the sale price in the latest catalog I have it $19.99. I am heading to HF sometime this weekend and if they have them I might pick one up for the $16.99 sale price and open it up to see how it looks inside. The local store will match the $16.99 sale price if I can print it out from the website.
