The scissor spring does not seem to be placed right. The scissors don't work one-handed. Has anybody had to loosen the fastener and move the spring?

Do you have the scissor locked all the way open? The first few times I used it, it seemed open all the way, but wasn't I had to make a conscious effort to click it open. ( Same as the knife blades.) when the lock engages, it tensions the spring. Good luck

Unfortunately not, I had the same problem. I did by two more of the knifes, they work OK but not made as well as my original one.

...not sure if it is "normal", but the same thing happened to me. I just ignore it.....what other choice do you have? If you want the blade sharpened as far as the handle, there doesn't seem to be any other way. Holding the blade level as you draw it through the slot seemed to ameliorate that problem somewhat. I do like the product. I don't see any other way to get the blade sharpened as far as the handle.

When my slicer first arrived I adjusted the handle and wire and it hasn't moved since. Maybe yours is defective? I'm not sure because I have not had this problem. Maybe they will replace it?

this was my first use of a mechanical, holding onto the fixed blades for ever - I have not had this problem, the clips when aligned with the blade snap over the lip on the blade and then seat tight when screwed onto the arrow - easiest way I found to get it all together was to use the plastic tool piece they sent, push the broad down in it, the align the clip and screw it onto the arrow. I can attest they make a devastating hole, will not go back unless a state doesn't allow mechanicals. happy hunting.

I haven't experienced any sort of problems with the locking mechanism, and the spring seems to hold up very well (I have been constantly using the knife for months now.)The only thing that I have had a problem with is the clip. It sticks out at the bottom and can catch on different parts of your clothing and surroundings; I had to take mine off and re-bend it back into shape after it got caught particularly badly.

Please follow the operator's manual of cordless trimmer/shear on page 13 &14. You have to squeeze both releasing buttons on the side in same time and after change the blade, make sure to push the blade down untiil you hear the "click".If not, the blade does not securely attach.

Yeah, pull the blade off first and it only seems to come off in one direction. Love mine!

On my unit the 3 screws that hold the blade will not release. I have tried both directions...thinking they may be reverse thread...still no movement.Tried some penetrant...no luck.Any thoughts

Very good question...I don't know..hadn't thought much about that. I am having a hard time using the scissors.

You can use goof off to clean the scissors. In future, fiskars make a scissor that is coated with teflon. Those will work better, but will likely need to be cleaned anyway.

No this is not normal. Mine works just fine and easy. About the blade release, I found that the button on the right side of the knife releases the left blade and the button on the left side releases the right blade. I think the knife is great and am impresssed with the quality.

Very carefully, really when you push the locking mechanism to the side I just close the blade slightly to keep the lock out of the way then with other hand close the blade. I'm sure you are doing the same. They should have a design with a button on the outside.

The blade gets pushed to one side. The top guide helps but not as much as a tighter tolerance one might. I like the concept but better design is needed.If you only made straight cuts it would probably be fine.

The knife slides out of the sheath smooth as butter. I see Kyle had an issue with the spring coming out of the detent but I just looked at mine and I don't think my spring could come out unless I put some serious effort into it. Slides in and out of the sheath very smooth, no need to ever press the button, not to lock it in or take it out (but you can if you'd like)

I replaced both left and right sides, putting the new ones the same orientation as the old ones.When you apply tension, you should rotate it in the same direction that it is wound, the spring will get longer.I would suggest doing both sides at once.

I have had the same issue and I think it has to do with the torque of the fastener you are trying to remove, you have to break that initial torque on certain fasteners, bolts, screws etc., and then it will be fine. It is an inconvenience but I still like using the tool and still happy with my purchase.
