Anyone have any tips or tricks on how to change the nosepiece size? I made it too small and fell like it's about to break getting it in the hole.

Hi, I just had this same problem. Firmly but gently tug and pull and wiggle side to side slightly. It will finally pop into place. In my opinion, they could have improved this product a lot by giving 3 separate sized nose pieces like the Speedo Vanquisher comes with, or at least provide a spare!

I imagine a 38 snub nose would fit - I've seen a Kahr CW9 fit in there just so you have some idea of comparison - you could contact the manufacturer if you're still unsure after reading the answers. There are two holes on the back side of it diagonal from each other for mounting (you just have to pull up the foam).

I was not very pleased. It was very painful to use and difficult to keep on. My nose is not very wide so it should have been more comfortable. God bless.Kiesha Middleton

you may have a more sensitive nose than i do, but this bucky seems about the same as the previous ones except it is a little harder.you can always hit it with some fabreze and leave it outdoors for a few hours...good luck

I sterilized a safety pin and poked it into the opening to make it larger. I had to do that a couple of times. Just use alcohol to sterilize the pin and poke it through once. It will work just fine then.

The band that goes over the nose bridge can be tightened or loosened. My dog got it into his mouth n chewed through it in about 2 seconds so make sure it is snug.

I recommend trying larger size. Mine put too much pressure and I couldn't wear it much. Not sure if it a good idea. Surgery is answer.

Michael, most likely a staple is lodged and stuck. Did you take the nose apart to find the culprit? I am surprised this happened because Fasco is a good machine. What kind of staples are you using?

I found the same problem...takes two men and a small dog to hook the things. I hooked them BEFORE I put the thing on. Took a lot of effort but got it on....it felt like I was in a straight jacket. I think the Med/Large is just to small. They should increase the length of the velcro tabs and put some thumb hooks or something you can get a hold on the tabs better.

Hello all--Priya did you try the method from SirBrad shown belowand QUOTED HERE I had the same problem. What you need to do is, stand the machine upside down. Now step on the bar nearest you that comes out after you stand it up, the other bar is in the front. The knob should be right in front of your face. Pull the knob out with your right hand, and push HARD upwards on the bottom bar. Mine is very tight, but loosens up after about the first 6 inches.END QUOTEThat method worked perfectly for me--- good luck----

I'm really not sure but the metal part can be bent. My husband has a smaller size nose and these work for him. Hope they work for you.

Mine fit pretty tightly. I applied pressure and twisted it as I put it on. I had to scrape off some dirt build up too. Hope this helps.

There's a sizing guide on this page of the website: http://www.woodyknows.com/Products.aspThey used to sell cheaper frames (without filters) for sizing purposes, but I don't see that on Amazon anymore. Based on my nose measurements, I initially ordered the IIIR, but I later figured out the IIIS fits better. My "nares" are round, but the interior of my nose is narrower. In short, the sizing is tricky because all noses are different. But it's worth the effort. The filter has really helped me. Best of luck.

I think I understand you; since the tubing is pretty long just go up higher and cut across the tube to make a new nose for the stainless steel piece to fit. Hope this helps

I pried it off with a long nose screwdriver and screwed the new one on. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gB1SasCNXyY

I am sure the mechanics have a special tool. I used a needle nose plier, as recommended, but they did not do so well. The tips of the plier must fit into the slots on the threaded bolt and the plier must be kept at the right position. You got to try this to understand. It's "tricky", but it can be done without a special tool.
