Thread: Gender Changer Woe's

    Default Gender Changer Woe's

    Hello There
    Just important saftey tip only use the gender changer for Light Duty Applications, I had one break on me during an aggresive dueling session, which consequently ruined my brand new blade. I highly recommend using the standard coupler for Heavier uses it is definitely worth the extra money.

    Seems like you really layed the smack down on that changer. What were you doing? Beating a horse to death with it?

    Actually we were dueling and I have a Stunt Hilt which I just added a 3" MHS extension at the Pommel End and next thing I new I am hold it and the front part of the Hilt and Blade are flying off towards the Concrete Pool Deck.

    I'm using a gender changer on my latest MHS to make a double bladed saber. I made it mainly as a stunt saber. Do you think I might have the same problem?

    I would say yes. But I think the gender changers are only good for in between hilt sections and not double saber adapters,I mean the only difference is the id anyway. Which means it was made for in between hilt sections that way your electronics could still fit throughout the hilt.

    Ryu I can't say for certain but that is an awful lot of weight on that thin piece of aluminum, I only had it holding the 3" Mhs Piece, the end cap and a switch
    yeah I would really recommend just sticking with the Double Male Coupler it is a lot thicker Metal, that is what I am going to upgrade both of my stunt hilts with it adds an extra 1/2". Like I said before I would only recommend a Gender Changer if a Show Hilt not for real stunt use plus look at this way it means a bigger sales ticket for Tim.

    Sell it on ebay as a "Custom MHS 'Battle Damaged' Coupler"! I'm sure some poor sap will buy it...
    Read the Thread Index. because Lord Maul fixed it...

    I put a warning on the listing for the gender changer. Let me know if I need to compensate you for anything.

    Yes! compensation for all of us! No, just kidding.
    Well while just doing a simple double blade spin I hit my leg, (which hurt ) and that broke mine so the next time me or Dacota orders something, I'll get a double male connector.
    Trial and error I guess.
