It's been a while since I looked at the site, and I found something I didn't know about, so I ended up buying it. I think it's fine to think of this product, which is a set of a special shaft and a special flight, as similar to the FIT.

I am not sure about the durability as I have not used it until it broke yet, but I think it will last longer than the FIT.
One reason is that there is no nub at the flight joint (in FIT, there is a concave part to be trapped for locking).
As for the whiteness of the white, it looks somewhat cheap. It has a slight yellowish tint to it compared to the new Flight L white I have on hand.

The other thing that bothered me is that there is a slight gap at the joint between the shaft and the barrel. This gap is very small, and I might be able to show you a picture of it if I can post one.

If you have an Elshaft shaft, you will know that the Elshaft shaft has a slight taper at the barrel joint, but the 8-flight shaft does not have that taper, so some barrels may feel a bump.

The joint between the shaft and the flight is threaded, but it is loosely tightened and locked. If you change the flight frequently, of course, it will become loose, but I have an impression that it is better than the FIT except for the color variations.
Sorry for the long post!

Shaft that is just a little stronger than the fitted shaft when used, but easy to break.

Anyway, if you drop it from your hand, it will break even if there is a carpet under it.
Screw breakage should be a chronic disease of the fitted shaft only.
I wish they'd stop imitating the spinning and then imitating the weirdness of it.

I have been using it for about a year now.

Advantages
1) Harder to loosen and not come off
→It has led to a reduction of stress more than I had expected.
2) Less likely to break
→It doesn't break more than I imagined.
I wonder if it's true what some reviewers are saying, "I dropped it from my hand onto the carpet and it broke..."

Disadvantages
1) Not many color variations
→There are fewer compared to other companies.
It does not matter to those who use orthodox colors.
2) Slightly expensive compared to other companies.
→The insert does not open, so there is no need to buy more except when it breaks.
It may be cheaper in the long run.
