Is there supposed to be a spring, or do you have to keep opening manually. Also is there a video to show how to use them

This tool does not have a spring. Here is a link to a youtube video about how to use a 3-step wire looper: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHk0DdVRngU The tool in the video is not the BeadSmith brand, but it is the same type of tool.

put thumbs into each side and apply pressure outwards. they are stiff but will open back up if you press hard. I have done this myself and had to open by hand. stiff but it works.

Try pushing down on the top then opening at the same time. I think that it is a safety feature. Hope that helps.

You simply push down on the little metal "fin" in back, or up on the one in front -- After putting a little effort to move it, a spring assist will switch it open for you. Very simple and user friendly!

I am not sure by your comment that you can not get them to open. The black knob revolves around the body of the unit so unless it is installed it might seem that it does not open. Did you get instructions in the packaging that told you how to chafe the number?Nick

The gate will stay open. It does not automatically spring shut. You have to close it manually. There is no bar to step over. The entire gate swings open and shut. We are happy with this gate- one of the nicer looking and made. Hope that helps.

Yes, there is a spring inside. Both of the end are covered with a rubber end cap.

Just push down and a little forward on the "V" shaped section which has little indention (looks like a small dot) on top of the device where the spring is located. It takes a bit to get the hang of it.

There is a clip inside that engages when you open . You need to pull it to the side with a fingernail as you are closing it back up.

Shane,It looks like there is a small spring mechanism and a plastic wedge for close assist. The door will not close automatically until about half way open. It is not a smooth closure but it does close.

There is no spring, but once you push the blade out with the thumb studs it flicks open quite easily, even fresh from the box.

This item is not spring operated. It is simply held in place by the magnet. I am not in this property often but I remember the door seems to be in the same position as a standard stop. Appx. 3". Hope this helps.

There was enough spring in the uprights, just pull them apart. Put the cross bar in one end and push on it while pulling on the other upright.

It is a spring and cam type system. If the door is open it will stay open, but once you start to close the door it will pull itself closed. The mechanism in is the center behind the hinge.

there are to stoppers underneath the head, separate them and move them to desired stops. they will look like springs.

I had the same issue with a different model. I forced it open slightly manually once and it was ok. I know it sounds crude. But it worked in the past.

Mine is a spring loaded mechanism. Pinch together to open. Release to close. Not a knob. Simpler. Very easy to use.
