I saw where someone mentioned this DOESN'T roll? I need the pin to roll independently from the handles. This looks like what I need, (heavy duty) but not if it doesn't roll. :(

The handles move independently from the roller, so yes they do roll. It might take awhile for them to really loosen up when brand new though.

Mine rolls just fine. I work in a pizza restaurant and it gets quite a bit of wear and tear. It has been dropped multiple times and even soaked in dishwater. The only problem I have had is it got stiff and started making clicking sounds when you roll something out. I believe it was due to multiple soakings which I told everyone not to do. To solve the problem I put a little mineral oil down in the roller on each end and it works better than it did when it was new.

That person may have a defective one. Mine works just great and the pin definitely rolls independently of the handles. I highly recommend it!

the handles pushed inward will tighten the roller--the handles pulled away from the roller will loosen the roller--it can be adjusted to the way you want it to roll

Mine does roll independently of the handles. I can hold the handles and only roll the rolling pin portion. I love this rolling pin and am glad I bought it, would definitely buy it again!

The plastic pin on mine broke as well. Instead of continually getting it replaced I just put a long screw where the pin was and I havent had any issues since. All the handle needs is a pivot point. I would suggest it to anyone that has the plastic one keep breaking. Just make sure you line it up right.

Yes it does roll, but the handle is a bit short for me, so in need to bend over a bit to roll it. I will usually just pick it up. Hope this helps.

The body and handles roll independently of each other. It is longer than a standard rolling pin which I like, and the dough depth rings are very helpful. I don't know how I made my sugar cookies before I got this rolling pin.

I have used this line in a swisher and in a craftsman both. It works great for me. One the string folds over and slides in, and the other you loop it through but with the hexagon line it has edges really so it last longer and cuts better. I swear by this line and always use it I can't find this size roll anywhere but here now. Note Home Depot use to sell this line they may still have the smaller rolls so you would be able to look at it. Hope this helps.

My husband installed ours and it works beautifully, where is yours loose at the point it is attached to the wall (cabinet) or where the roll is, or at the bar holding the roll. If at the attachment; my husband attached a small block of wood under the cabinet and firmly attached the holder to lower it under the cabinet. If on the roller bar, did you get a chrome donut shaped piece to place at the end of the bar that acts like a spring or tightener for the roll? Maybe you placed it at the entry end and caused the looseness or maybe it was left out of your package? Mine works great.

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

Sounds like it may be defective. When I tightened the screw when it needed to be, it didn't spin and just tightened properly. I suggest sending the one you have back and getting another one.

It will move around and that's by design given it sits on a ball point. The only way for it to fall off is by force. You may have gotten a defective unit. I'd return it and try another one if you want. Just make sure you carefully take it out of the package especially the part with the tipHope this helps.

It is a little tricky but mine opens and closes. After inspecting it I see that as you may suspect, turning the handle right tightens it and left loosens it. Yours must be initially stuck. I bet if you can get it to open once you won't have any trouble the next time. ;)

I dont know. I noticed the same thing so i just went with this one and it works fine for me! Nice and solid and the arm extends out. I noticed it was kind of tight spinning in a circle so I took it apart and removed the grease that was in it and replaced it with some bearing lube lol now it spins real easy.

Sorry - I don't know how to fix this. Mine is not bent but rarely will flip up and lock the slide back - are you sure it's not just flipped up? It's easy to do when you are pulling the slide back because it takes so much force to pull it back. Sorry I can't be more help!

The dowel holding the twine is fixed so only the twine should spin. I believe it is glued since I do not see hardware on the bottom holding it. It sounds like yours may be defective.

Just pull HARD! I thought I was missing part of the instructions, because the handle would not easily open and had to google this myself. Just pull HARD. It won't break, but you think it's going to.

Handle should turn easy. Mine did from the beginning. Something could be wrong.

Please clarify. What type of pins? Bobbie pins? If so, pins would not hold the roller - the roller is not hollow in the middle.
