[ame=http://youtu.be/3ruVrrRK6ak]Shaft diameter - 7.00 mm or more? - YouTube[/ame]For choosing a right Tomba (Tomba700, Tomba715...) it is very important to know the exact shaft diameter. It is not same if the shaft is 7.0 mm or 7.15 mm.
Here is a trick how can one easily take a measure of a shaft diameter without a caliper. I suppose it is clear from the picture how to make a tool and how to use it.

My idea was to see whether the knot would untie or the line would break. Because the result was breakage of the line, I suppose using some glue would be a good idea to secure a knot.

Mark has made a new piston for Asso. Piston is 13 mm, the ertacetal-C and titanium.

Testinig the strength of the knot with only 5 wraps of line (mono 1 mm) over the sliders neck. Mono is 120 lb (60 kg). I measured it before and it was breaking on 50 kg so I did not use a dynamometer this time.
Applying glue to the neck of the slider:
I used this knot for the hook
I made blue marks on the line so I could see if the would be any tendency to untie. I neither finished the knot using the lighter to make a small ball on the line end next to the slider.
I was using Easy Loader to produce tension on the line.
Here is a video of Testing:

The knot did not untied, so using a glue is a good practice.

It seems that the glue "Bison" weakens the nylon, chemically! It is not good to use this kind of glue for this purpose!

One interesting knot for tieing the slider, maybe the best. Without glue... This is proposal of my friend Maurizio.
I think I found the best knot for tying nylon in the Tomba Slider. It is not good to use super glue.

To conclude, to be clear:
Per concludere, per essere chiari:
To tie climax or spectra to tomba slider use constrictor knot.
Per legare climax o spettri di scorrisagola Tomba uso constrictor nodo.
To tie nylon line to tomba slider use snell knot.
Per legare il filo di nylon alla tomba scorrisagola uso Snell nodo.
I think that this knot would be a good choice too!
