I might just put a set of pliers with padded jaws in the studio so I don't muck up my hands on the clutches.

Have not used in session but just playing around it is great ( I did have to play around with tension adjustment screws that set the lever lock tensions,,to get it to where it was tight but I could still open with 71 year old hands
) But the wide lever handles on the boom clutch are great and help a bunch.
Here you can see the Boom angle clutch is a dual disk brake type design , the lever lock open to change angle and you can see the two disks are actually tensioned on the four faces of the the two disks
And angle lever lock closed
And I really like I can just wheel it over to wall and out of the way (with my old tripod leg boom stand) I had to hide and lean up in the closet, because the legs stuck out too much when open, and it was not stable with them closed on that wall space
