Yep, agree. never had a loose dangly trem, it stays put.
As Jim says, the Wilkinsons are good trems, I have 3 of them, all push-in.
The grub screw is great..... for a while.
The knurled end has bitten through the plastic liner in one of mine and damaged the shaft .
This cleaned up OK and by rotating the sleeve a little, protection was then regained.
I then swapped the steel grub screw for a brass screw it being softer than the steel shaft and also not having a knurled end to it.
Better

I won't comment on the arm I've not had the easy mute and get on fine with the standard but where I will comment is on Kinmans.

Yes I first tried them because I became aware through these pages and in my mind they sound much better than standard single coils, fuller in tone, but so do Fender Noiseless, and the Entwistle, do they faithfully reproduce the sound of an original 59 Strat, or on the Hank Moderns the hotter pickups he used later, I really couldn't say and I don't care too much, but do they produce a sound I like? they certainly do which is why all of my single coil guitars (except the Burns Marvin) have had noiseless replacements.

The only ones I'm not so fond of are the active EMG's (single coil SA) on an Eggle guitar, they seem a bit too clean.
