Torque loaders

[Jon C]

They have now been released a while, ive even seen them for sale in the classifides.

What are peoples opinion on them. Not an internet opinion please an actual user review.

easy to split shells and change batteries?
Feed rate?
Battery usage?
Lid?

etc etc

Thinking about getting one as a back up but depends on how good people think they are, otherwise ill just get another reloader.

they are brillaint , exstremly light, can be used with only one 9v,i recomend two tho as it seems to go insanly quick with two in, very easy to take apart and clean literally takes 2 secounds , and sits nice on top of your gat.
the lid takes a bit more force to shut the the reloader but nothing that makes you need to take up weightlifitng to close it , and i dont think there is a speedfeed for it yet

please dont mind the spelling im terrible

I used one for the first time last week
Very light, there is nothing that can fail on them unless the motor burns out. Sit nice and low on your marker. I really like them apart from the lid needs a spring (easily modified)
Thay split apart easy when you want them to for easy cleaning and maintenance. If you can live with the motor constantly spinning on the clutch (that you only hear at the start gate) you will love them.

Ps. Cant help thinkin if they were a bit heavier my marker wouldnt of shot so high in the air, but I have put it back together and even though its a bit noisier now it still works.

I love mine.Best hopper ive used overall(halos,reloader,pulse,vlocity also used).Lighter than the others,stupidly easy to take apart and put together which is great,feeds perfect at 15bps(using 2 9volts-didnt try it any faster,also worked fine with putting an aa battery pack in).The shells are very solid despite being so light.The on off button is big and simple to press(one tiny fault is that is easy to press it twice by mistake when switching on,but this is really nit picking.) and the anti jam works nicely.My favourite thing about it is its simplicity.Seems to very little to go wrong,its just basic and works which is ideal for me as i have had many hopper reliability problems.My only other tiny negative thing is that the lid is stiff at first(like most hoppers really) and that the opening may be smaller than some people are used to(i personally dont find this a problem at all,although a teamate does), and no speedfeeds avaiable.The stiff lid is easily rectified by a little use(mines fine now),new shells are due to be released soon with a wider mouth for feeding,as are speedfeeds.

So to sum up, i love it!

It was on my marker when the tank/reg exploded
(see other threads)
Like I sad, seems a bit noisier after becoming the fastest loader in the UK when it shot off into space, but it still spins

Plus they are made from ABS plastic which is the same material Storm Trooper suits were made from-Cool!

Well, I got one at Cup...

The mouth is too small. Two out of 3 battery connections went quickly dead... Went out to play - 1st game: loader down, put new batteries in, 2nd game: loader down, 3rd game with another set of batteries: loader down. Might have been ****ty batteries...

Then I took apart the clutch system and it's making a clanking noise ever since... No, thank you.

That said, they do have a couple nifty features like the ability to take apart the shells without tools, and the simplicity of the whole thing.

wide mouth shells are in the works too
