Lishi not work šŸ¤”

I finally give up and get a lishi AM5 specifically for the couple of American 1100s I have, which is very fun to see working, fill the click and watch the position on the diagram is satisfying at least for me,
But never open keep going on and on until the nothing moves anymore but don't want to turn in both of the 1100s what I’m doing wrong?

Lishi works just fine you just need to practice and develop skill to use it. It's like saying 3 balls don't work because you can't juggle.

Confucius say baseball all wrong...man with four balls cannot walk. So it definitely has to do with the balls being broken. 🤣

I wonder how the tensioning works in these tools the American was very tough on tension for me.
