    Hi guys. I just received my columbia throttle body but I have a North star handle. The northstar is much thinner and the columbia has a D shape hole and has a big opening. Is there an adapter or do I have to buy a columbia handle? Thanks

    HELP! I think I might be missing a part but cant find any good pics to see. Basically my drive wheels are free rolling. It looks like the ratchetting wire may be bent, even when I get it on the teeth it still can roll back pretty easy. Columbia's appear to have a round teflon end on it...

    I got the 2-1/2 and 3-1/2" heads. I think they are better quality than the columbia and blueline heads I have owned. I haven't had to replace any parts yet on them but I would like to stock up on blades and maybe some screws. Are any of the parts interchangeable with other brands? Where's a...

    Do any of you guys have a NorthStar extendable box handle? If so, is there a way to adjust it? You have to squeeze the handle almost all the way before it catches and it is catching less and less. To the point it doesn't much anymore. Any ideas?
