srthstrying please don,t do that at least give it to someone who will utilize it. While not my favorite as I have noted they can be very functional indeed.

In my opinion the major difference between the conventional types and the magnetic is simply the magnetic is so much more friction free. This tends to show up side to side imbalances far more than the conventional types as opposed to the tip to tip imbalances. Since sanding and removing material from a hub side is really a no/no there is not much we can do for side to side problems. This means that a decision to quite a little earlier in tip to tip adjustment needs to be made.

Try just checking the balance with the prop vertical sometimes and this side to side becomes more apparent with the wheel types 'in my opinion' this is not as apparent.

It could be argued that the magnetic type is superior to the wheel types but I wont

The bottom line is the magnetic is more tedious to use simply because it requires more time as the it requires that the prop needs to come to a complete stop each check and recheck and it requires some decision as to what is actually occurring is the imbalance side to side, tip to tip or even more common a combination of the two.
