Just got a Juice S2 (pre 2014 model) and if I close-up the pliers into the handles without closing the jaws together first, one jaw jams between the small and large screwdriver? Anybody else got this problem?

I've had a similar problem. However, I realized that i wasn't pushing the screwdrivers down far enough into the handles after use. That's the only time that I experienced an issue with the pliers getting caught or stuck on the screw drivers.

No I though the same when I fist got it. It works better in time. It's tight at fist. Just grab it with a good grip and pull it apart. Wiggle it a bit and it will pull intwo. Do not twist it it will come apart. That's not how it works. I love the one I have.

I also have trouble getting the battery cover open. It works best if you pull up at the notch on top with you finger nail while pushing up on the cover.

I've gone through 2 myself (lost one) and given 2 as gifts to friends, never had any trouble opening or closing the pliers... found them to be very slightly stiffer when new, but not objectionably so...

I had the same problem with mine, its just a matter of breaking it in, when I depress the blade lock, (On the back of the knife) I had to relay make sure that it was fully depressed, to release the blade, i just kept working it until it became easier. Little WD40 helped as well. I Love my SOG, its my EDC. Good Luck

You aroused my curiosity so I checked my unit only to find that I also could not slide the battery cover off. I unplugged the cables, then took a thin bladed paring knife (with a dull cutting edge) and slipped the blade into the joint near the thumb grip. For safety I wrapped my thumb with several layers of a dish cloth, then I applied downward pressure and also pressure in the direction of the arrow while also applying prying pressure to the knife blade with the other hand. Before re-installing the cover I applied a thin coating of Vaseline to the slide areas and to the retaining catch. AVOID THE BATTERY CONTACTS! Hope this helps!

Lefty losey, righty tighty is not the rule on the juicer. Lefty tighty, Righty losey does it. I guess it is done this way so that regular use will not back the screws out. Hope this helps.

I cut some rubber tubes that I can put around the jaws... & that enables me to use them as "soft jaw" pliers. That's a ninja technique!

Yes, mine loosened up after a few days of use. As for using the pliers with one hand it does take some getting use to. I usually doldrums the pliers horizontally holding the top handle in between by thumb and palm and let the weight of the bottom handle open up the pliers then use as normal after wards.

You need to push and twist with more pressure than you would think. I was afraid I would break it at first but it works just fine. Good luck. I love this juicer!

Correct, when you squeeze the handle, the jaws enlarge, opposite of what you'd expect from needle-nose pliers. There is a small spring, in the pliers, that holds the handles "open" for you, so that when you are done placing the snap ring, the jaws return to the closed position ready for the next snap ring. Confusing, but intuitive when you are using them since new snap rings are essentially closed, and you'd have floppy handled pliers without the "self-opening spring-loaded handles."

I want to add to my previous comment by saying my juicer with the red feet is the original model- I have had it for decades; it still works great. Sounds like the switch in manufacturers has altered the new model for the worse. Too bad.

Only thing I can think of is the Safety/Run button isn't depressed. Can you try the battery on another tool to make sure it's good or really fully charged ?? Those are the only two things other than a mechanical (internal) problem that would cause that I can think of. Suggest you contact the company.

I bought a cheap set of screwdrivers which have the special head, and a "spluge"?! for prying it off.My son is the whiz in the family, and had no problems doing the replacement (other than he preferred a different color than I bought).

It just pops out. You just kinda pull on it and may have to wiggle it a bit especially after juicing.

Mine were on VERY tight, I ended up using a butterknife to pry the edges away so it would slide. My thumbs hurt, but we were finally able to move the screw caps.

the crevice tool is good until mine jammed and I can't extract it from the unit. Also, the battery on this doesn't last long. I would look for another product.
