has anyone's unit bend?

I've had mine for 2 months, and have cored maybe 50 apples or pears in that time. No problems at all. I make sure to give it a twist to start the coring, then continue twisting clockwise-then-counterclockwise as I push through the core. If you don't twist, it's 3 or 4 times harder to just brute-force push it straight through an apple. Twisting makes it super easy to core.

My unit doesn't bend easily. It is very rigid and has a good handle to grip. I use it a lot, and I've never had an issue.

mine has performed perfectly, like every Oxo product I buy.. If only all companies had as products as good as theirs... Sorry, no bending.. only use it to core apples..

No issues with bending. I've had mine for about a year now and it hasn't changed the shape of my headset at all. There is also soft padding on it to prevent scratching of the headset too.

It does not have a bend, I just put a level on it and mounted it crooked no one can tell with the hood closed.

No, it does not bend. I ended up returning it because it leaked. I am looking for a better quality product.

Morning Tim,Doubtful about the possibility, I have a couple of bent butt as well but I have not really seen the possibility to interchange. I might have missed something though, I am right now in Venezuela so I cannot check physically for you so best bet is to get in touch with OKIAYA direct.

I haven't had any problem with bending handles (but haven't owned them very long). Because of the construction, it would be difficult for bending to occur. The measuring cups are one piece with fairly short handles.

I have successfully opened one, but am not sure if it was luck or if using it lightly at a couple of different places on the lid kept it from bending. I have not tried it since. Sorry I can't be more help.

Mine was doing the same thing only after a few months of use. I used a needle-nosed pliers to bend the hinge on the left hand side just slightly. For ours it helped to bend it to the left and we continued to use trial and error of bending slightly then closing the door and repeating this until it closed snugly against the frame. Seems like a temporary fix, but hopefully it will hold out for at least a little bit. I also tried e-mailing the company about the problem and am waiting to hear back.

Mine was the same way but it was not the fluid joint. There's a screw (the included tool fit) that adjusts the entire units attacment. It might be loose.

I bent mine in various directions and adjusted them to what my needs where. Great flexability and no need to worry about their breakage.GOOD LUCK! :)

In haven't tried more than one relatively sharp bend but you could ask them at Gardus. http://gardusinc.com/ you can call them or email them. Look under "contact us" in the black bar.

No, I do not have anything like this that bend. You could try to put a form of splint of small pvc or metal pipe and clamp it, then epoxy it in place. I repair golf clubs and have even use old golf club shafts for different projects.

I also had this issue. What little bit that did go on it didn't go in straight so the top section was leaning. This is really not a well made piece of equipment.

i think it can have bends but you should call Basepump because they have a great customer service function and they can answer all your technical questions.

Hi there! Not the bent ones but the straight, wider ones they sell are. Here's to your good health!

I was able to bend them a little. You will need plywrs as you will not be able to do it by hand.

Yes you can bend it. If you use a needle nose pliers you can bend a very small radius. It has no spring tention.
