There is a break away plastic collar. One use only per collar. this broad head is so brutal, that it blasts a huge hole through the rib cage. I feel the shock collar is an improvement.

no o-ring, and yes they are somewhat folded, blades open upon release of arrow from bow...totally bad ass results

Blades do not have to be removed. There are nice foam bumpers to keep the blades in position also. great case...

I think I'd stay with the disc holder. They do stack nicely, are easily accessible, less $$. I tend to store my blades right in the Cuisinart itself.

It folds back in. The locking mechanism is tight when you first get it. If your hands aren't strong enough use a butter knife to disengage the lock by gently prying it down away from the bevel on the base of the blade. The assisted opening lever isn't what makes it go back in. You have to disengage the lock

The handles fold down so you do not need to remove them. Or I think you can just unscrew it.

Yes they do. You just rotate the blades to a wide open position and they come apart. No tools needed.

The handle folds up under the blower nozzle. I haven't had any trouble folding and unfolding the handle. Tip: retract the cord before folding the handle.

I've been using it for several months & not had an issue with the open bottom. I guess if you wanted to close it in you could cut a piece of cardboard or some material to fit the opening but I really don't see an issue with it. Handling it with normal use, your fingers shouldn't come any where near the blades but to each his own.

Yes, the o-rings are sufficient to hold securely. They are tight though and some force and work are required to remove and then reinstall. My wife uses it on both her road and mtn bike. Though it is most often on her road bike. I only have the mtn bike so I zip tied mine. If you move it frequently you will wear out the o-rings, though it will take a long time to do. This is a very high quality product. It will hold up to lots of use. Even switching it out. I would recommend a chopstick or something smooth and round of the sort to remove the o-rings. It will save your fingers and the rings. Hope that helps. Yes, the o-rings are sufficient to hold securely. They are tight though and some force and work are required to remove and then reinstall.

It depends on the knives, my boyfriend stores some of the knives open in it because of the springs. You slide the knives through the black rubber bands, fold the red felt in, then fold it in thirds, and use the clips to close it.

It folds in and hasn't been an issue. The knife is a bit bulky but otherwise awesome

there is a locking mechanism below the hinge, push the metal tab sideways, flat against the left side of housing, this will allow you to fold the blade back, and close it.

The blades have a storage case, but the one that stays in the mandolin does not have a cover so you do need to store it carefully.

You may want to check out YouTube for use demo. I received mine moments ago and they seem OK. It is important to not just pull up on area furthest from blade but also pivot the forward section on blade end downward, much as when turning a car key off or cranking the handle of a traditional kitchen opener . Don't just use finger tips but hold firmly between length of thumb and index finger. The idea is to evenly distribute the force thereby preventing holding at can grip slot.

Doesn't collapse. But it does come with a cool sheathe.Small enouch to carry. It's def a nice tool and well worth the purchase!

I keep them in their sheaths in a drawer. That's part of the beauty; the blades are enclosed in a removable protective sheath so you can store them anywhere.

They should pivot freely. When you start it up they should swing out. When you hit your first wall you will be glad they fold back in like that. Cut the power as soon as you hit something and the blades will survive no problem.
