My Trupoise arrived yesterday--beautiful

Still draining the bank account.

This think looks pristine.

How do you like your trupoise have you had chance to try it out, does it work better than the standard poising tool, i've just got one but it didn't come with any instructions on how to use it, there wasn't much online about the trupoise.

 I searched ebay for sold items, and found some photos of the instruction manual in the sales pics of a couple of different sellers, these photos seem to be the clearest, the instructions may help anyone else who gets one.

Mine came with those same instructions although tattered more.

I used it yesterday!  It is easier to install the balance than in the conventional tool--at least I think so.

I did not have to make any adjustments, so did not experience the benefit of clamping the balance for adjustment.

I have 3 of these, dont ask me why, just because. 2 have jewel bearings the other some kind of plastic bearing. Tbh i would only use the truing aspect of it to check not to adjust. It doesn't hold a balance as it should be held to be trued. Calipers make a better job, less likely of pivot damage.

I would stick to the more traditional poising tool and calipers, I'm not particularly impressed with it, a bit gimmicky imo. Not as accurate for poising as it has more friction and not a good idea to true with it. Pass on one if you see it, unless its cheap, they're usually not.
