Anyone know how to change the handle from one side to the other? Know that sounds simple but just bought Stradic FI and can't tighten the handle down or remove it.

    If I'm not mistaken, the FI has the screw-in handle.  Gently hold the spool and turn the handle backwards.  There should be a port cover on the opposite side.  Remove that and screw the handle into that side.

    I haven't handled an FI yet, so that may or may not be correct.

    just unscrew the cap and switch sides if I'm not mistaken.  Mine came out of the box on the right side so I never had to change it.

    The handle screws in with left-handed threads.
