Are you buying the piston or wedge type? I have the piston type, but many advise to get the wedge type. I hope to upgrade to the wedge type someday to see if it's any better. There's been library's of arguments of whether the wedge type is that much better than the piston type (or at least worth the cost). I've had my piston type for about ten years without complaint. I did just take it apart and clean/oil/grease it. Mine had no grease or oil of any kind in it when I took it apart and there was a bit of wear due to the lack of lubrication, not enough to worry about, but some wear nonetheless. It works much smoother now.
