How do you get the ribbed plastic piece through the curved slit? Mine just gets stuck inside. Also the wrench isn't loosening/tightening anything.

The wrench/hex screw is to loosen/tighten the plastic strap. The plastic strap should run parallel to the screw...so the tip of the strap comes out of the housing in the same orientation as uf you are looking at the hex head screw.

Wrap the strap around the handlebar and push it into the slot. It'll just stop there instead of just passing through. You have to keep a little pressure by pushing on the strap with one hand while you use the other hand to turn the allen screw clockwise until it starts pulling through, then keep turning until it's tight.

Try turning unit with wrench that came with it. Wrench goes in bottom of unit in middle. Work back and forth until unit turns easily. Should solve your problem. It is either stuck or clogged.

Did you try to put it on? I know it appears to be round, but mine snaps onto the square drive of the tool just fine. Then, each bit can be locked into the opposite end. Hope this helps!

I read the previous answers but couldn't figure out to open it. My husband did. Wish I could post a photo showing it off/open & on/closed. The entire top that flares out (a darker plastic piece) comes off. Use your thumbs to push it up & off. Don't use a tool like I did! I broke off a small chunk trying to pry it open.

I have the same problem albeit - using the drill the one time I tested it out, the bit didn't come out. I don't think your doing anything wrong - I'm guessing its something in the design. I will admit though - being able to just pull the bit out, does make me a little uncomfortable.

It's probably just stuck. Pull the round knob gently and it should come loose and work fine.

Its a crappy system. You have to use the wrench to "unlock" the circular bit. That all of it out. Inside there is a cylinder with a spherical head towards the top. Take that out too. Now insert the bit through the big thing you unscrewed, and into the cylinder with the spherical head towards the top. When you push up on it, it will "tighten" the grip on your attachment part.Now just put it all back together, and tighten with the wrench.Hope that helps.

I have had this problem also..I took 2 inch metal pain scraper put it on one of the humps on the lid and tapped it with a hammer. It took a few tries but it jarred it enough so I could unscrew it. Good Luck!

it shouldn't be too stiff. i've never had a problem pulling the bit out. Perhaps your release is stuck? When you press on the area with the 5 grooves, the area near the bit should lift off a little showing that it's unlocked/released.

I just used a regular box end open end wrench to put it on , and tighten it up . That's the way I have been doing this since I was a kid . When I changed pedals on my BMX , and Freestyle bikes they always stayed tight . I hope this helps you .

Im no expert, but try checking out the container for cracks, take the blade out using the wrench, clean it up and put it back in.

Make sure that all bolts are in place and hand tight. This will prevent you from "forcing" or "mis-threading" any bolts. Then using the proper size wrench (not an adjustable, since they tend to "round off" the bolt corners) TIGHTEN as tight as you can. All the slack will then be gone. Finally, make sure you are putting the correct length of bolt in each location. Some are longer because they must go through several pieces.

First try a tiny bit of oil or WD-40.If it's somehow welded shut or won't move at all, return it for a new one.It's supposed to open a few inches, as in the picture, not all the way.

Hi Sam, I had a similar situation with mine. I noticed it was getting a little loose. I opened the jaws of the pliers all the way and placed the head of the rivet on my vise and used a large centerpunch and "re-peened" the rivet. Since it is a stainless steel rivet it worked very well and hasn't loosened back up since then. You just need to make sure the centerpunch diameter is large enough so it won't just hit the center of the rivet. Hope that helped Kevin

I never had that problem. Might need to send back or try to bend the fastener to a slightly less round. Mine holds well shut until pulled open. Good luck.

Same issue. I used a wrench to hold the nut until it was tight and a large screwdriver to turn the bolts.

I had to use a wrench to get it open the first time...don't use the ring to try to twist it off! I bent mine pretty badly!
