Does the 2 sides of the crimper jaw line up well? My right and left side are offset by about 1mm, forming an oval instead of a circle. Is this normal?

I'm not an expert, but I believe they are supposed to be offset a bit as you're generally trying to crimp two wires/cables/etc together in one sleeve and they won't form a perfect circle.

Mine did not pivot left to right. Sadly I had to return mine- the solder was defective at both ends of the horizontal arm and at the top of the head. I wound up picking up an almost identical one (with a water filter cartidge) at a local home improvement store (i can't remember if it was Lowes or Home Depot)for just over $50.

BEATS ME, I SENT MINE BACK. I believe the bite valve was straight, as was the place where the tube exits the cap. 'Believe', not sure. I sent mine back, unused, as the tube was too short to be useable.

I looked at mine and it is not crooked at all. I would think that is not normal at all.

The crimper I bought had a case that was not rigid enough to keep the dies in place. I used a 1/4" weather stripping foam under the dies to keep them in place. Gently, gently----it does help, but a more rigid, better proportioned case would be desirable. I am happy with the several crimps that performed on battery clamps, etc. This hydraulic crimper is more compact then the long handled crimpers NAPA uses in our town.

Maybe you are squeezing it from the wrong direction. Mine certainly looks solid until you squeeze or bite it. I have an opening; did not have to cut it.

Mine is the same. I ordered this from Amazon. It looks O.K. Don't think company would ever notice that there is a little overlap on the sides. Doesn't bother me most of the time either. Good product for the cost! If you were real brave, you could try trimming it, but I figured I'd end up with a crooked line!

Hi Ronnie, the picture on Amazon shows the correct side up. I have had my nippers for a few months and love them.Steve

Mine was correct too. I do know one side is a bit larger than the other to accomodate the bigger end-have you tried switching the ends?

When I purchased another brand of the Stamps, they feed correctly and stop because of the holes, but the first character along the whole left size is always cut off. Everyone else seems to be able to do it, so I can't figure out the problem. I don't see anywhere to adjust the alignment.

I think it's the way your mouth guards are formed. If you did them on your own like I did, mine are uneven. It's not so easy to put them in hot water and then put them in your mouth to form them, consequently they do not fit to your teeth properly.

I did have a little of an impression from my bottom teeth. What seems to hold it in place is the mild around the front teeth and the molding on the roof of your mouth. The first time it fit perfectly after 2 attempts at molding but the last one I purchased, my second, I had a hard time getting a really great fit even after 3 tries. I decided to just leave it, it doesn't fall out but can be easily removed with just my tongue, packaging says it should be more difficult to remove than that. Anyhow, I didn't want to keep messing with it because I was afraid to ruin itAnd I haven't had it fall out on me so far. I did have a little of an impression from my bottom teeth.

I can't say what's "normal" because I have the same issue after roughly the same time of use. It's very bulky. I'm almost to the point of concluding that the thickness of the separate pieces, combined, cause my teeth to be too far out of alignment for comfort. The longer I use it, the less I like it. I'm about ready to try an athletic mouthpiece, and simply align my teeth to the same location as with this "adjustable" guard, when I do the first heat-compression.

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.
