Is there a way to tighten or loosen the pivot that holds these shears together?

No. There is a screwed side but does not tighten the pivot. I just tried it. I have not had any reason to. They have remained tight for two years and continue to cut well, even through chicken parts/bone while cutting a whole chicken. These are Great Kitchen Shears. I would recommend them to any one.

It appears to be able to tighten and loosen the pivot post if necessary. it has not loosened up so i have not fooled with it.

I don't think so. It's like a hose fitting -- female part fits onto fixed male part, turns to lock in order to work.

detach the handle and tighten the screw underneath, that might eliminate some wobble

On the back, there is a finger hold for the back cover that you can use to lift the whole unit. Press down on that and pull back. It will pivot out of the two lower clips.

I agree with Ken S response. I would add you may not have to remove the links but just connect at the link that provide the tighten the chains as desired.

I simply tightened it by twisting handle & had no problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi Sam, I had a similar situation with mine. I noticed it was getting a little loose. I opened the jaws of the pliers all the way and placed the head of the rivet on my vise and used a large centerpunch and "re-peened" the rivet. Since it is a stainless steel rivet it worked very well and hasn't loosened back up since then. You just need to make sure the centerpunch diameter is large enough so it won't just hit the center of the rivet. Hope that helpedKevin

You will need to adjust the tension in the arms where they pivot. You should be able hold one part of the plastic ring and turn the other. This should loosen/tighten depending on what direction you turn it. Edit - Mine is very smooth and easy to move. Anyone could do it. You may not have to hold part of the plastic but turning that does change the tension.

Please follow the operator's manual of cordless trimmer/shear on page 13 &14. You have to squeeze both releasing buttons on the side in same time and after change the blade, make sure to push the blade down untiil you hear the "click".If not, the blade does not securely attach.

if you go to fiskers..they have several different versions..I'm sure there is one that will help you..go to long handled shears

Check your manual, but I'm pretty sure you have to completely remove the end of the blade clamp. You can then thread it back on while holding the blade in place. Good luck, the Rockwell is a great tool, but those blades are pricey$

You need a plastic clip or plyers covered in cloth. The back pops apart like a seam and then you can pivot it off frame

If you play with the adjusters a little you should be able to align them properly. Don't tighten everything completely until they're squared up.

Fixed my wife's vanity. It has to be taken apart to fix. You wrap the pivots with a piece of paper to create resistance to movement and put it back together. It will tighten up the movement this way.

I had to use needle nose pliers to hold one of the bolts on the handle. Adjustable wrench would work too.

No, they are not. It might be they unscrew in some fashion but I have not seen a way to do so in my use of them. I have only focused on using them with the handles however, but I don't see a way to detach them just by glancing at them.
