Did I get a lemon? In locked position the shackle rattles about 1/8 in. in all directions - is this normal?

The shackle does rattle on mine, don't think it is 1/8 inch, that sounds like a lot. Doesn't appear to be an issue on mine.

Mine only rattles if it's not snapped down all the way. As long as the two side pegs are seated completely when down it is quiet.

Mine has never made any rattling noise. I do not think it is normal. I would have it checked out.

Maybe you didn't lock it at the proper position (there's only one spot on the handle where you can do this, you should hear and feel it click). Otherwise you should send it back

I don't have a rattle. I still love mine and it just screwed on with no plumbers tape. And no leaks.

My tenderizer does not have something rattling around inside and, in looking it over, I find no way to open the container even if it did. Therefore, I would just not worry about it if it is working well for you when tenderizing and if it still allows you to easily lock and unlock it. However, it would probably be more advisable to get in touch with the company and have it repaired or replaced.

my set closes pretty tightly, just held one up side down and shook it pretty hard. Didn't move a notch.

I think it may be defective. When it's in the flat position and you raise it up, does it make a clicking sound as the locking mechanism functions? if not, then there is something wrong internally.

Mine doesn't rock at all, so I don't think that is normal. I'm assuming you have the yellow piece with the red button attached so it is secured to the rack, but other than not am not sure what else you should do.

Mine locks but the locking cable has loosened. Does anyone have experience tightening it?

No, it should never rattle! I think it depends as to whether you can hear a SMALL background whine or not. Mine is fine on the low speed, but has a very high-pitched background whine on the high speed. My husband can't hear it, but I can't stand it! Is yours still under warranty? Sounds like they should exchange it.

Hello G - my wrench does rattle, due to some of the linkage parts inside. There's alot going on inside, compared to a standard wrench. You should still test it to make sure everything works OK.

Mine has a bit of a rattle as well, especially when the tension setting is low. It's typically the torque spring inside the barrel. I have been using mine for about a year and it works great.

Mine rattles. I have been trying to troubleshoot but can't quite figure where it is coming from.

Roy. mine has always made that rattling sound ever since I've owned it for 17 years when you run stock through it. It shouldn't make it if there's (no load) stock running through it. Only thing I've had to change on it for all those years is a blade chuck and believe me I have done a lot of work on it. Hundreds of projects. Hope this helps.Tim

I have noticed ,the base rattles when the seat isn't attached when I don't have the car seat on the base inside the car and I am driving around with my older kids and the baby isn't in the car. My husband installed the base so I'm not sure if it rattled like you say yours is doing.

Hi - I do not think this is "normal" - mine didn't rattle - that sounds to me like the camera has something broken inside. I would return and get a replacement. It may work great now....but what about the future? However, I am no expert. Best of luck
