Mine came today and I will say I'm a little disappointed in the build quality. I purchased the aluminum version and there was definitely some quality issues. 1 the threads on the center of the barrel were a little course but the issue is the ends of the threads were chewed up so every time it screwed or unscrewed it worse than nails on a chalkboard. 2- the lower threaded hold down cap doesn't screw on tight after a day of using it vibrated loose. 3- not a biggie but if I remember right their kick-starter showed it being clicky pen, mine doesn't click at all I have to check the tip to make sure it actually engaged.

idklelI have the Render K in aluminum and it had that first issue too. I believe at the time Karas knew about the issue and said it would go away pretty quick, but if you wanted to make the problem better, just lube it a tiny bit.
I had some grease for my bike laying around so I just a tiny drop of that and never had the issue again.
As fr the RETRAKT, I have it in copper from their Kickstarter. Freaking love it.
