The issue is not that the paddles don't leave the factory fully tested
and operational, but that the stand-offs (E700348) loosen after a period
of time from normal use.
As posted by several of us previously, the fix is simply to place a
small dab of Loctite Blue on the threads of the two flathead screws
(E700277) which secure the stand-offs.
Loctite Blue worked for me. Some prefer Loctite Red. A last resort
would be JB Weld.
Once adjusted to the operator's taste, the KXPD2 is a very nice little
paddle.

The paddles are supposed to be fully tested prior to shipping. I’ll
investigate on Monday.
