Jesse, actually that margin of wear took a while. On further reflection, I realised that I have been using it for more than a couple of seasons and not as I had initially stated. I had bought this starter from Hobby Lobby so it has been a while. Time flies when you are having fun! Kavan has a great product in this starter as it's light, compact and has lots of torque to even turn my Zenoah G26 and DLE 30.
