I used the whole length of the snake and it came out of the drum. How can I put the snake back to the drum?

You will have to open up the drum and hand wind the spring snake back into the drum. The crazy device never worked for me. I returned the snake. Good luck.

Just push it back in. Since it's a spring, it will resist the first two or three pushes, so to start it you have to hold it in with one hand while you push with the other. After about two feet are inside, it begins to coil up and will stop resisting. Not very difficult.

Your snake is too big for the small snake trap. Works great for small snakes, though.

The entire drum needs to be replaced when the depth setting is at its lowest level and your not effectively de- thatching. I thing that you would want to do that anyway to ensure that all times were hitting your lawn at the same depth. If they're not you run the risk of digging too deep with some and missing thatch in others.

Pull the wires apart and dump the brass out. The wires will spring back in place.

You can always duct tape it to the drum folks...that's what I do, I just put the tube directly into the drum and tape it down. works every time.

Yes it's really easy the hard part is removing the drum and putting it back. Everything you need is part of this.

That is what I had to do because it is short. Just know mine broke almost every part before I finally threw it away. I used so much gorilla glue and duct tape it was crazy.

I googled how to assemble drums and found a very good video, then i googled how to assemble cymbals and found a good video. I was able to do the whole drum set doing that. Also, the instructions that came with the set were for a smaller set. I googled Mendini 5 piece instructions and got those instructions. Good luck. I had never put a drum together, but with the videos and the 5 piece instructions, I was able to do the whole thing without any problems.

I threw mine away after the plastic gear, which engages the metal gear (bad design) stripped down smooth. They gave me a pair of shears to make up for it. Like the other answers here say, it closes down to nothing but with three jaws in the chuck of what I'd call a fairly normal workshop size, a tiny bit might not be grabbed very effectively.

We caught a harmless snake in ours and checked with the department of conservation and mineral oil should be used so may work on other creatures........ (I know this is a very late reply but in case anything else gets stuck !!!)

Not sure how that would happen if inserted properly. Mine had a rubber boot at the curve. You insert that all the way in the hole. The metal snake would only be coming out deep inside the toilet where not visable, so there shouldn't be any scratching possible. Make sure to retract it while still inserted all the way as well.

I bought it and it didn't work. I read that snakes don't even have a sense of smell. I think the best way to get rid of it is to have it trapped and removed.

Well, glad you asked. I love this snake. About 1/4 of the way from the pointy end (metal weight) there is a wire brush. I dip mine in Hoppe's #9 bore cleaner and pull it through. A bit hard at first but it will go through. It's wiped by the raggy portion of the snake as you pull. Now I put a little TW25 gun grease on the snake several inches behind the wire brush and pull it through again. Oiled clean as a wistle. Maybe 5 minutes at the most in time. I may do the bore clean several times but not the grease. Spend the rest of my time polishing the rest of the piece.

sorry, ohio jack---i gave it as a gift and the last i saw of it it was still in its original coiled shape. it was intended to pose in a cactus garden out in northern colorado. i would have to inquire from the recipients about whether the snake is poseable/flexible. i just assumed that they could stretch it out among the cactus plants. mary r in sc

I used a metal spoon to gently leverage it out of the ball. Once it got out far enough, I pulled it the rest of the way.

I would suggest contacting the manufacturer. One of the few design issues I have is the way the handle works, it's too easy for it to catch when I'm rotating the drum forward. Fortunately I've been careful and haven't had a handle break.
