Any roller that only rolls when screws are loose\u003cbr\u003e\nshould be checked for damage or epoxy rod finish buildup inside the guide frame.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kilwell Sports Ltd","offers":[{"title":"AFTOP118","offer_id":52033898938653,"sku":"AFTOP118","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AFTOP120","offer_id":52033898971421,"sku":"AFTOP120","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/1072\/3613\/files\/AFTOP109.jpg?v=1784177840","url":"https:\/\/actionoutdoors.kiwi\/products\/aftco-roller-tip-top-standard-tip","provider":"Action Outdoors Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
