Maybe the clicklock will finally convince eyepieces makers to stop adding undercuts whicher never necessary in the first place.

Hello Nick.
I'm away from home at the moment so the following statements are caveat emptor....
I only own Tak or Televue eyepieces I just can't remember which ones do or don't have undercuts. I'm still waiting on the Baader 2-1&1/4" adaptor so I've only tried the Tak 2" diagonal (with undercut as shown) and a TV 2" (something?) with undercut into the Baader and both lock in securely.
I have other 1&1/4" TV and Tak eyepieces the "undercuts" of which I can't remember now. The undercuts are designed with thumbscrews in mind as you know.
My experience is no problems so far with the limited options I can plug into the Clicklock.
From an ocd point of view the idea of the Clicklock with an evenly constricting ring to maintain a dioptric centering appeals to me. I was never worried about thumbscrew marks on the eyepiece barrels but the Clicklock also negates that if that's an issue for others.
