Screwdriver doesn't tighten/loosen filing bands &amp; bands slip off as soon as power is turned on. How to get bands to stay on?

Put a small piece of paper towel on first, then slide on the sandpaper band. You can use toilet paper too.

I used a very small allen wrench and used a lot of pressure. I didn't have a correct tool. I just tried my best to keep the opposite end still to tighten the screws. Ultimately one of the screws got lost, and I ended up replacing it with a small bolt and screwed a nut on and added epoxy glue.

Might have bad unit. I have owned two of these. Have done 3 piece bands in small settings, no problem !

We've not had that problem (yet). My only thought is the internal sensitivity element and the sensitivity button are not making a connection. It may be necessary to open the monitor to determine if something has come loose. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Between the HardDrive pin-up vibration and the cable tension, the thumb screws (feet) may slide off each other. If you stack them horizontally I would put a dab of "Clear Quakehold Gel" (rubbery goo) on each screw or foot. The other option is to stand them vertically on their sides like books.

I used a screwdriver. It did seem like it was going to break, but nothing broke. I do agree they should be easier to take off.

I am having the same problem! I have adjusted the screw and still no luck. I am at the point of getting rid of it and buying a new one. Very disappointing, especially considering how expensive they are. Wish I could be more help

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.

If you didn't twist the back after removing the screw then you likely broke the little notch that holds the backing on tight. I did this to a few when changing the batteries. However, when I put the battery in and turned it on the battery stays in tightly. I just pressed the battery in then turned it on (because I like them to come on the same time everyday; I leave the switch at "on" all the time.) I guess you could try taping the backing on but I haven't needed to do that.

mine is really loose and just pulls apart. They look like they're supposed to be twisted together but mine i just push the wide angle off with my thumb. Sorry, can't be of much help, but try pushing it!

haven't had any problems, they just kinda fall out if you unscrew them out far enough. Since the magnet doesn't hold them attached to the screwdriver I usually either catch them in my hand or pick them up off the floor. It's a good screwdriver, but yeah, I do wish they were truly magnetized and hold on to the stupid screw. hope that helps.

I've had a problem with usb devices too ( thumb drives and cables ) ... I've had to use needle nose pliers to crush the top and bottom of the plug back to "tight" ( make it just a little smaller so it feels tighter when it's installed). I've also cleaned the contacts with alcohol. It's always worked for me.

Mine is fine......I think that you might have stretched it to much when you put the little tracker in place. It only fits one way and it took me awhile to remember just how it went......and now it slips in easy without any ouching and pulling and definitely not stretching......I had to buy another band because the original band broke from being in the same position all of the time....at least that is what I think.

I did respond but had a small error in my response. It uses a larger screwdriver if available. Most people have a #2 but a #3 is the size of the screw heads, however a #2 should do the job but may slip out occasionally. There are 5 screws. Put the center one in first loosely. Then install the remaining four loosely. tighten the center one then the four others alternately until you have them snugged down. Tighten the center firmly then the other 4 firmly going back around to insure that they are all tight. Upright it and use it and i expect you will like it like i like mine. Jimmy

I wish I could help you..don't recall having that problem! Carefully examine the buttons that you depress to rotate it. But I'm at a loss as to the screw.

I have exactly the same problem. I put two bands on at a time--one next to the other. That helps but doesn't completely solve the problem.

The only remedy that i personally have found to avoid movement is to check to see if the screws have loosened up and retighten. Also you can apply Blu loctite. Hope that helps.
