Dolos Lock Pawl

To ensure the longevity of the ratchet face on the lock collar, the lock pawl is purposefully a softer metal than the hardened steel collar.  By softer we mean 17-4 stainless steel, which really isn't that soft, but it will wear before the collar does by design.  Replacement lock pawls (with a spring as well) are available from our retailers at the Where to Buy link above.
