Is there *supposed* to be something that snaps off on both sides when first extending the legs?

Nope. I know it us very tough to pivot the extension legs. I just pulled really hard and they folded out.

Perhaps by extending only 1 leg but the other legs are not detachable. I think it would be a little awkward to be used in that manner.

No, it is welded on. You could hacksaw it off, but you won't gain any space because the legs when folded extend beyond the rest.

Yes, it is meant to be screwed into both sides at the end. Unfortunately, in tight spaces it's very difficult to do this - I was never able to secure mine because the drills/tools wouldn't fit between the wall/sink and the cabinet - and this can make it wobbly. To counteract the wobble, I definitely used the strap on top and balanced the legs with some small cardboard pieces underneath.

There are clips on the side. They work well. I have used them for years without a mishap.

Both sides lift out! I have not had any closing issues with mine that the other poster noted.

No, it does on mine. However, it is possible that it just hasn't snapped all the way down; sometimes it takes a bit of wiggling and pressure and mine settled further on one side after a week when I reached for it.

If its the same one i bought, no, it has one alignment peg, and it has two clips on each end and it snaps into place.

No. Its control is on one end and the arm extends the other (to cause the split).

I believe that it's to just one side. I don't remember for sure as I installed it over the holidays & don't recollect it being an issue. Sorry if this isn't more clear.

There is a small plastic piece that snaps over the 2 ends to prevent fraying.

I own two of these, and there is a hook on one of the legs. I noticed it yesterday when I took the tripod out to film.

Not really I bought one, the side (sometimes both side) keep popping off so just about every time I have to hook one side back on in order to use it, sometimes I don't get it snapped on tight enough and it pops back off. Other than that it gets the job done. Hope this helps.

Yes, they need to be secure. Make sure you have been put on so that the slot in leg is over the bump on the side . They call it a pin,but it's more like a bump. I needed to switch one leg to a different place when it didn't fit well.

there are 2 release buttons on opposite corners. It's very tough the first few times but it does loosen up.

(1) They sell a separate extension kit that I have not used. (2) As long as you twist it the correct way, it will not come loose; you can tape over the joints with duct tape to keep it connected if you are concerned. Just do not reverse direction when you take it out.

Hmm, I didn't have that problem. It does need to be facing the right direction, but I assume you've thought of that. I sometimes have to give it a good push to get it clipped in. But I find it more difficult to get it unclipped. Are you having a problem with both sides? Might want to see if you can get your swing exchanged.
