Does anyone have impact injuries to their hand after using this chopper for several years? Mine is severe!

I have been using the chopper for at least 20 or more years and have had no problems. This is my forth chopper.

I am careful when using something like this. I only use it on occasion. Yes, my hands feel the impact, if I exceed an occasional use. I think this is a product that is best avoided for those of us that have hand issues--or possibly if we are collecting social security because we qualify with our age. :O)

perhaps you are not using it correctly. I bought a nut chopper after having trouble wiht mine but as far as garlic and onions it's the shizzle

I haven't used it for chopping nuts but I can't see where it would be a problem. I am on my second chopper and I wouldn't buy another type.

If the base is sold separately it would be nice. It seems that's where it breaks but love the chopper.

Well mine lifts off very easily, the red top has to be lined up with the "groove" in the clear plastic top....then you are ready to chop.the chopper is extremely sharp..I store mine in a Ziploc bag inside the container when not in use.this is a terrific chopper I use it daily and saves getting the "big guy" out.

I'm sorry to say that I returned my chopper. I could not figure out how to do the small pieces without doing my fingers as well, but the biggest problem was that I could not get the attachments to stay on tightly. After doing a one or two vegetables I would have to retighten the attachment.

I have only had that happen once. My husband tightened the wire and handle and now I take special care not to turn the handle as I'm slicing the cheese. I have not had any problems since. I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.

Wow! It's been nearly eight years since I bought the drill, so I don't remember the details of the warranty. Using it intermittently, as a homeowner would, it has given me no problems at all. It's a very rugged, powerful drill. You'll find it can provide more torque than one wrist can control, so use the provided side handle on the heavier jobs.

we had one just like this one for 20yrs that we bought in AZ. and when it finally broke, we just had to find another just like it and we did, this is the one. don't buy any thing else this one is awesome. it won't make it into a liquid, but boy does it ever chop thing into small pieces, it is perfect for making salsa. hope you enjoy it. you can't go wrong here with this chopper.John P.

I've only used it a few times but haven't had this problem. It's true what others say, the motor is not super strong but it is adequate if you press lightly. Does the motor start running again if you lift up the knife? If not then it is defective.

Mine broke too, my husband tried to cut a bone with it. I don't think he was suppose to do that. Also you can not put it in the dishwasher. I don't know if it's guaranteed for life I just won't buy another one.

My wife let her clipper land on the floor by accident and had the same result. We found the local Oster dealer did not even have parts and had never seen such a product (he probably doesn't get out much). We ordered a new blade from an internet vender and switched the blades here at the salon. All has been good for over a year now. We have found that some brand of blade wash, the kind that submerges the running blades to wash out clippings, make the cutting quality of the clipper last a very long time. Good Luck!

I love this chopper. It cuts onions and other vegetables to the size you want just by turning the handle. The more you turn the finer it chops.You should cut the vegetables up a little. For onions I cut into quarters and turn the handle about 3-4 times. I cut up baby carrots (I have not tried the larger carrots) and they turn out great. The electric chopper I have just gets to bogged down with onions and other vegies. I will save it for chopping nuts. This chopper does require that you hold onto to it so it won't move, which can be a little cumbersome, but it is worth the effort.

Ok, I did get chance to try the chopper to attempt to make some almond butter. It did struggle with the nuts. I pulsed it until it had a chance to break down some of the nuts and then turned it to full "on" button and the unit sort of wobbled to where I had to hold on to it to stabilize it. So, I would say that for this sort of thing, you would definitely need something a bit more powerful. Hope this helps. I actually learned something myself trying this out. :)

No, this hasn't been an issue for me. Maybe you can return it to the company for an exchange? (unless of course you used it to hit something and the manufacturer's warranty is void).

I'm not aware of any problems with this unit. I got mine in July 2014 and have made tons of salsa, slaw, veggies, soup, etc. with no problems. Although I don't run the thing very long (mostly multiple pulses or quick/short runs), ours has been a champ. Maybe it is just an issue with the most-recent production run?

I haven't had that problem. I'm left handed but not sure if I use it like a left-hander or right-hander. Perhaps you have the handle in the wrong position.

Hello. Oh gosh, I have never used the chopper for that. I do have a bag of almonds, if I get a chance this weekend, I will try it and see how it handles that and let you know. I hope this helps.
