Will these T10s and T11's both do exactly the same or do the T10s work in more situations ? Will the T10s work better with larger alarms ?

I have both and they both work well,
I use the larger T10 in windy rough conditions and the T11's when its calm.
They are very versatile and also very good at minimising false bleeps.
They can both be set almost weightless or with tension.
Alarm size doesn't really matter Ive used them with Fox RX+ and my smaller sonic alarms

Well I got the 10s and found there is no spring on the ball bearings for clipping the line, only a grub screw for adjustment. So the ball bearings are fixed and pinch the line. Anyone else like this or have you got springs in the head ? Also the grub screws are very loose thread so I need some sticky thread seal to keep the screw from poping out.

My advice would be to return the ND equipment and take a look at the indicator selection from Defiant MPS

Just me thinking aloud but I'm looking at a picture of it and to me the indicator head should screw off. If so why not get some custom made clips with a spring/bearing in to replace them from the likes of Keith @ Defuant MPS.

I have a pair of the 10's. There's only a grub screw for adjustment of the bearings.
Mine aren't that loose, they have a little resistance. Have you tried adjusting them? Possibly they are unscrewed too far out?
I don't think the head will screw off it looks bonded into position to me. I may be wrong - it's been known to happen occasionally!

The head does unscrew off, I'll have a fiddle with it. Don't drop the ball bearings, I tried finding them with a magnet but their stainless. Had to do it by eye and it took me a while 🙄

Well you learn something new every day.
I'm not going to try & take mine apart, I've had no issues with mine to be fair.

Was you able to find out what the problem was?

Thinking aloud again, is there room for a tiny spring between the grub screw and bearing? It'd be an easy enough mod if so.

Piggybacking off your idea Vossy1: Even easier (maybe) a small piece of rubber. It will provide the required 'bounce' to avoid the line damage as you slip it between the balls (fnar fnar) ... and without having to find a spring of the correct diameter and try to make it very short (and still spring)

There is a spring, it's fitted first then a ball bearing in the head then the second ball held in lastly by the grub screw 👍 it's easy to miss the spring as it's fitted first.

Another one here for Keith's Mag heads. Worth a look if you can't get yours how you want them

Like it
@ Bob, was the grub screw simply too tight then, or are you still experiencing line pinching with it slackened off?
