has the pin design been changed??? that seems to be the major issue with these clippers (June 2013)

I got mine yesterday (5/14/14), and the pin issue has been fixed. It has a bolt now like the picture in the description. I will try to upload a picture if I can figure out how, but at least the pair I got does not have a pin. I haven't used them yet, but they look and feel sturdy to me and the grips feel much nicer than my old wooden handle ones.

i am not sure what you meant by the pin, but these clippers work very well.

I've had mine for about 2-3 years. The original pin broke really fast, less than 6 months. Fiskars sent out a repair kit free of charge with 3 replacement pins. The new pin hasn't failed so I assume that they reformulated the metal pin to be stronger or the original one came from a faulty batch.

The only model number I can find is on the clippers and it says Model 104379

In my opinion, you don't really need a new pin if yours doesn't shows signs of wear. My gun was brand new so I didn't replace mine.

They do not have a Logo or Manufacture Makers Mark on the pins themselves. If you are asking if the package itself has a Logo etc. No it doesn't.

Quite possible that one of the pins is bent inside the camera.... I would check that first.

I am sorry to say that I do not have an answer to that. The package, however does contain three (3) pins which will make for a clearly smoother and quieter experience (that bolt slap at blowback). I have shot hundreds of times with the current pin with no significant wear. Fortunately when trade out becomes necessary, it is a simple procedure. Inexpensive, simple to swap out and functional-as far as this shooter is concerned-works for me......

I did exactly the same with a metal pin. BD headquarter ran out of the metal pin this summer and I got a free one from my BD local center.

I'm sorry but I don't have much for an answer. I had my clippers for about 3 years before I had to replace them. I think maybe just replace the batterie.

So far, this is the only flaw I've found. The threads on the cap are too flexible and if you over-tighten (like I did) the cap get's stuck or stops threading. So far, I haven't found a good replacement. I'm looking around for a plug instead of a cap, but the opening is a bit odd shaped. I'll let you know if I find an easy solution, but for now I just have a small rag rolled up and jammed in the hole. It's not a solution, but I had work to do. lol

I actually just used the last one I ordered yesterday and I discovered the same issue. The previous one I had from a few years ago did screw on (the tip), but this newer one does not. Looks identical. So far for me I cannot see it being a big deal, but I do hope they change it back so the tip will screw on for a more secure fit.

I have had this trimmer for 3mos now and have not experienced any problems. Usually these are made where the cap is reverse threaded to the direction of the trimmer so that the cap will tighten when bumped as opposed to being loosened. I'll have to look are mine now. Good luck

I had no issues with mine. I did have to wiggle it a little to get the pin in but nothing major.

Look at the documents that came with the clippers. If you do not have them available try looking on the company website.

I haven't had that problem since mine screws on and stays on till I take it off. If the design hasn't changed and the black tip still screws on, I would exchange it. That sounds like the threads aren't holding it in.

My experience has been you would receive different pins. You might have a couple of duplicates but mine have mostly been different. You might want to order a couple of weeks apart just to increase your chances of different pins.

I have no idea. I just looked at all of my pins and they seem to be there. You might have received a defective cable.

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