As a novice, just learning, it was informative, but a bit misleading.....not a snipe at you but I had to question myself! It makes no difference if you start at the piston stopper anticlockwise or clockwise as you will always stop at the same point to find TDC! After doing this procedure several times is made more sense to start at piston stopper and go anticlockwise to get TDC and then continue anticlockwise to find the required degrees before TDC....just a little confusing I think but informative and helpful.
It only matters because the meter counts down from 360 going anticlockwise; which is what is needed for this proceedure. Glad it worked for you in the end.
Recently bought one of these and used it for the first time today; in short, it makes it a piece of piss, though an Allen key in the box would have been handy.
On engines with a deeply-recessed crankshaft (like Vega) you can add a large bearing ball or copper coins before fitting the screw which allows it to be tightened.

Good point, we'll have a look at that. Cheers for your feedback.
First I've heard of a buzzwangle
The damn locking Allen screw was too small for my TV 175 crank and you can’t tighten the stop bit with the cowl on. It’s not thought out 😕
