Give it away! If you have an expensive brass head, like a rain head, it won't hold it. It may stay up but as soon as it gets the water weight too, bingo, it's down. Or, as I did, get a solid chrome plated bent pipe extension.

It gets loose easily. We have to tighten ours about once a week. Maybe your shower head is too heavy.

Try putting a lock or regular washer underneath the wingnut then retighten.

It has to be pulled, not twisted. Do not push or twist, only pulling should do the trick. It should be simple, however, since you have already depressed it, you might find it a little harder. I hope this helps.

The handle collapses or extends as you twist it. You need to have some muscle to do it so you may have to have someone assist. The best place to grip it is near where the silver part meets the blue part. also tightens there. Good Luck.

Try adjusting the rod at the base of the snow blower that connects to the arm by loosening the nut and turning the shaft inward to shortening it but first you will have to pull the pin at the handle that connects to the rod so you can turn it hope this helps you out

I just had my husband tighten it and that solved the problem. However, had that not worked, I was planning on putting a piece of gripper pad (the kind you can get at the dollar store for opening jars) around the bar under the clamp.

UGH, I do not know what to say but contact Dupont or send it back if it is defective. If you twisted it off when you received it, I don't understand why it wont go back on. sorry. I have only had good results with them, maybe you got a bum.

It sounds like you have "locked" the rod in its current position. As I recall you had to turn the rod to tighten it when you got it to the length you wanted. You probably need to turn the rod in the opposite direction to loosen it.

you've probably hit a rock or something hard. Look at the swinging arms really closely, one will be slightly bent. Size it up against a ruler, or something straight, and try to bend it back. it will reduce but probably not eliminate the problem.

Hello Carol, no trick. Ours was fairly easy for awhile, then got very stiff. I think that's what may have caused our to crack, try to twist it to turn off. How long have you had yours?

I have the same problem, I just keep running my thumb nail down the cord anf that seems to keep it from twisting excesslively and the minute I get a knot around the stick, I stop and fix it. It is the basic principle of physics...you keep turning and twisting it to play with your cat and the cord is going to keep twisting and winding up... no real solution...just keep on doing what you are doing.

Just twist it one way to loosen and the other to tighten. Maybe there is something wrong with it. Check with the manufacturer. Sorry I could not be more helpful

You could try checking the tension using the instructions in the manual. If it's too loose it will come off.

Try moving the rod in a small semi-circle and twisting it at the same time. Good luck.

I grab both ends and twist in opposite directions. That way when it folds together it doesn't unfold or bulk up because it is fighting against its self try to rotate in opposite directions. Either way grabbing and twisting the wire in the middle should work for you.

Verna, I had a little trouble at first too. My hands sometimes have trouble with twisting motions. I slowed down, and made sure that the top was set in the pot evenly before I started to turn it, and it worked like a charm. The trick is to have the top setting evenly on the opening, and then it turns fine. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your thermal as much as I do.

Greg said about it meeting resistance. If you stop there you are the problem. Push it a little further and make sure it is seated properly. If you still have the problem get it replaced.
