I tried on my flippers and there seems to be an insert of some kind. I can fully pull it. Do I use the insert or was it for shipping purpose?

I think that is just for shipping to keep the shape. If you look very closely on the tab it tells you to remove, it is very hard to see.

Oh yeah, you have to pull that out. Flippers feel much better once you get rid of the insert.

The handle is not permanently attached because it's a tiny bit loose. But putting in another handle would, to me, be a major engineering project (I'm not very handy with tools). The original handle appears to have been inserted into the metal sleeve attached to the "paddle" and then something punched three "dents" into the sleeve on the top and bottom and where the "dents" went into the wooden handle is what holds it on. There are no screws. If you drilled holes in the sleeve where the "dents" are the handle would probably come out and you could put screws into the holes to hold the longer handle on. I wouldn't attempt this myself but I can see how it could be done. However, I wonder if it would be worth the effort. Plus you might have to size a new handle to fit into the sleeve. Sorry this isn't too clear.

I would just keep the ones that come with it. I actually bought a different type to try out (the O style ring that doesn't clamp around your oar). Stupid in hindsight but they dinged up the aluminum real quick and the aluminum of the oar causes them to slide too much. You would need to find some type of sleeve to put on to keep them from sliding if you went that route (I'm assuming the other responder below was smarter than me and went that route). Using the ones included work fine and get the job done.

It is so cheap shipping would be prohibitive! Although cheap It seems to be a well made tool! You may need to adjust items inside the tool. I did and works well.

The one that came with my insert is .100" , I have not used it yet so not sure if I need it. I agree with the first response to your question, that is the way I do it if I build my own.

Yes the insert is very flimsy.. same thing happened to me... i paid way too much for what i received.. I didnot get any paperwork either..so I took it as a loss.. I know have learned you just need to look up your history to find your order.. click on link and you will find the shipper.. send itr back.. this was made very poorly.. besides the basket falling apart my enamel is chipping off...

If you are not sure about the screw on tip make 100% sure that your tip is not a screw on. I myself ordered one off of here and I thought it wasn't a screw on tip but it was. You may need a pair of pliers to take the tip off I did anyway. If that doesn't work contact the manufacturer of the brand of your pool stick and ask them, hope I helped

There is a piece of plastic ribbon on top, labeled "Pull". This should be the only thing you need to remove before inserting the cartridge.

As Lyle said, it sucks. I can't actually use it to open the blade. The flipper works well though and with the SpeedSafe feature, the flipper is all you really need.

Thanks anyway. I found the item at West Marine and was not inclined to use. (Not heavy enough for me) I'm going to fiberglass and reuse the bronze/brass fitting that came with boat which is in perfect condition.

John, the flipper does stick out 1/4 inch and it is not a real problem. This is a larger knife however so you know you have it in your pocket but not in a bad way. If you need to get coins or lip balm out of your pocket you do need to pull the knife out in order to do so comfortably. That said I absolutely love this knife and as I mentioned in my original review it is worth the money. The flipper works great and you can present this knife is a flash if needed without the drama associated with a spring assist. I hope they continue to make this design for a long time to come as it is a great knife. John, the flipper does stick out 1/4 inch and it is not a real problem.

I ordered a bunch of them and use them for all sorts of tools and other things like that, even tackle boxes. It is a really well constructed box with latches that don't break or fall apart like many other models from other manufacturers. It is now the only one I buy. Only thing I would like them to improve is to make latches out of stainless as they will rust when I use them for fishing stuff, but it's not a tackle box-and that would raise the price, so not complaining. I think it would be perfect for that use-good luck

I ordered mine last February, but I read somewhere in the description that the insert was not included so I ordered at the same time to insure I received both items timely. They were billed and shipped separately (within a day of each other) and everything fit perfectly, it looks great and works beautifully!!

You have to loosen the tightening knob so that it can rotate up out of the water. I just lift it up off the round flange that holds it when it's time to move and place it inside my jon boat. It comes right out. You can't keep it in the water beyond trolling speed. Also based upon the angle of the sonar sensor it forms a cone. For every ten feet of depth it sees six feet diameter at the bottom.

It helps you remove the bolt from a target. If the insert pulls out because the bolt is stuck in the target you just pull out the insert. Making that a minor repair.
