If you don't turn it far enough, it will turn back to where it was. And as soon as you turn it past the point, it'll just go right to the next position automatically. One of the thing, one of the reasons why I really like this saying is I know we all just can take and rotate our guard up front, and that's what we're accustomed to doing. But anytime your hand gets around this guard, it's a big safety issue with getting injected with paint. I'm accustomed to grabbing the guard, twisting this, putting this in between my legs, turning it. This is faster and easier. You can just quickly turn it simple. You can turn it with one finger. You can turn it, you know, with your hand like that. Now, it keeps you away from the danger zone. It's the fan pivot. It's pretty dang cool. It looks like it might be rebuildable. It is. You could actually service this yourself. All it has for a seal is one O-ring. And it's an aircraft grade O-ring, so it's resistant to extreme temperatures, acids, solvents, and you're rotating it at such a low RPM and so uh infrequently. These O-rings are designed
