Click-Lock Snare Strainer
(US Patent #9082376) The revolutionary SR-150 features an inner "C"-shaped nylon clip that attaches the throw off arm to the tension dial, preventing the lever from disengaging and the tension dial from loosening, even when the tension is very low. (shown on the Sensitone Aluminum STA1465AL)
