Sounds like you use your gear a lot like @Ryan AveryOne problem I had with sliks is stripping out the metal on the tripod body, so that the leg angles don't work anymore. Aggressive all day glassing for bears. It took about a week of this and it was fried. Did it to an Outdoorsmans too, but it took 2 weeks, but I just tightened the nut and bolt holding leg to the tripod body real tight and now I have a fairly tight assembly and unlimited much quicker leg angles. Less is more I guess in this case!
