Primex - Second Hand, 3" Black

Optional Sec Hand won't turn

I had a clock movement that I spent several days trying to find replacement hands for...none could be found to fit the round shank of that clock. I found the movements with hands of a different design for attachment at my local Woodcraft store and bought the Optional Second Hand, knowing that the movement would be used in a kitchen clock - a handy place to have a second hand when timing some cooking. After assemblying the replacement movement into the clock, I am very disappointed that I can not get the Second Hand to rotate. It keeps falling to the 6 position, and there are no instuctions if the shaft is to be crimped or expanded to fit into the center. I have tried both, but am not successful in tightening up the hand to hold onto the turning mechanism. In the future, I would only recommend this item if the user does not want to use a Second Hand on the timepiece.
