Is not a word. But I have decided to (whilst I’m at it) replace the final 3 hoffmanns with tortoises due to the following factors:
- ability to alter the throw length of the tortoise, which you can’t on a hoff
- ease of installation
- reliability – needed for exhibition conditions
- far better quality of throw arm – the red plastic retainers are very brittle on a hoff
- 4 screws keeping it in position not just 2
- excellent warranty
- natty removable connectors which make maintenance easy (removing for over winter storage?) and avoid any issues with heat affecting the tortoise during soldering.
The only issue I have found with them is the depth under the baseboard, which exceeds the depth of my woodwork, but with some extra protection to ensure they are not knocked, I feel this is the way to go. bye bye hoffs.
