Mine arrived today - SWMBO thought it was a mini shinty stick inside the wrapping!
Many thanks, Mark

Anyone missed this, wants one and is going to the Ice Fest? My old arm ain't budging for love nor money so decided if I persevere any further I'm going to break something. My arm is hence looking for a new home.
Hope Mark doesn't mind this sneaky little addition.
A few drops of penetrating oil applied to the spindle and left overnight, followed by a couple of light taps on the sides of the arm where the spindle passes through it (use a rubber mallet or block of wood and be brisk but gentle). Also helps if you use a folded towel or similar to lift the arm as far as it will go while doing it. Not under strain, just held at our near maximum extension from the screen.
The pivot ring on the arm (where the spindle passes through) is held under tension by the arm spring when the blade is left on the screen. Lifting the arm reduces the binding force on the spindle and makes a big difference!

Put some oil spray stuff on it yesterday, helped to make the whole thing very slippy. Will give it another try today, when SWMBO's off to Tesco.

Neighbour just dropped it round, arrived Friday by all accounts, no card through my door though!
I figure the neighbours have been trying to work out what it is for a couple of days
I told them it was a sex toy
Will unwrap tomorrow and fit then, no more clunk every wipe hopefully
Cheers
