Actually, I see both problems. But then, since I'm customer support, I see all the complaints. >> Super-glue solved my problem easily. Yes, but if WE do it, and spend labor on it, we have to increase the price to compensate. Originally we were selling these things for $30.00. What I'm saying is that these ARE a good value, but you should be careful. Remember: no one is manufacturing these things anymore, nor is anyone likely to in the future. If you know you'll want one, I'd buy it sooner rather than later, because there won't be no later. We bought up the last from the manufactuer, and there's fewer than 100 left. >> One more thing: the mechanism gets smoother after repeated use. That's good to know. I'll have to abuse mine some more. Always feel free to write me if you have any questions or comments.
