ULTIMATE BOBBIN INVENTOR

01. Do you offer a warranty with the bobbin?
The Ekich Ultimate Bobbin is backed by a one year warranty and 30 days money back guarantee excluding shipping.

02. Can I use Benecchi spools on the bobbin?
You can use all standard plastic factory wound spools with a inner arbor diameter of 7.9 mm (0.31").
     For Benecchi spools, do the following: mark quadrant lines over the four unoccupied chambers on the disc with a pen. Slide the spool over the post,

positioning a quadrant line over the drive pin and then press to create an impression. Do this for each quadrant line (four impressions in all). Using a 2.5mm (3/32") drill bit, drill four holes through the disc. This will provide four access points for drive pin engagement & disc removal will not be required.

03. If I break the ceramic tube, can it be replaced?
Yes.

04. Will the rubber ring wear out over time?
No.

05. Why is the bobbin so expensive?
I realize this bobbin may not be for everyone. My goal was simply to design the finest bobbin on the planet. To that end, I spared no cost in choosing the best materials possible (stainless steel, brass & anodized aircraft aluminum), nor was effort spared in achieving the highest tolerances & finishes on CNC machine centers. The result is a highly functional, durable & reliable product. I believe I have succeeded in creating a bobbin that is pure tying joy & I am confident once you have tied with the Ultimate Bobbin, you will also agree.
