How do you get the tip inserted and locked into place? We have tried pushing, twisting, etc. Will not stay securely in place. thank you.

Mine Screwed on easily, There is a double screw. The tip screws onto a larger screw which is connected to the base.The tip screw must be screwed onto another screw that is at the base. Make sure you have the two screws. Mine has worked perfectly.

I had the same issue! It bothered me for a while. I eventually discovered it does work but it goes in different place than I originally thought. I was placing it too far towards the back. I tried placing it in the middle and it magically slid into place. Keep trying to slide it in and there is a way to make it work. I hope this helps?

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.

Mine works fine. It took me a bit to get it to line up right, but then it seemed fine. If I remember correctly (I bought it for my mom and she lives far away so I can't check it) you have to clip it on. You slide it in, but then you latch it to secure it in place. Just keep messing with it. You will get it.

You have to bend it and than twist it inward. There are some great youtube videos about it. I use it off and on. You have to be consistent with it but it works well.

I've had no problem just pulling the rubber tip off -- I've had to do it twice since the first inch wasn't enough. If it just won't come off, then I suggest you send it back for exchange, or money back.

My pen was the same way. I just realized that the carbide tip is threaded as well as the hidden key. Just use a pair of pliers to tighten it down and it will be fine.

Its a crappy system. You have to use the wrench to "unlock" the circular bit. That all of it out. Inside there is a cylinder with a spherical head towards the top. Take that out too. Now insert the bit through the big thing you unscrewed, and into the cylinder with the spherical head towards the top. When you push up on it, it will "tighten" the grip on your attachment part.Now just put it all back together, and tighten with the wrench.Hope that helps.

It is difficult to unscrew it but keep trying. I actually had to take a plyers and gently hold on to the post and hold onto the base with a towel so it doesn't slip and then turn it. I found that after I got it unscrewed the first time it seems to come apart much easier now. Good luck.

Thank you!!! Very helpful...just pull hard. Soo frustrating but that did the trick! Love the tables and assembly not hard with this tip!

I had to push it with pliers. make sure it is in the groove, then use a pair of needlenose pliers to grip end of clip and push. Of course while lying on back with your head stuck up inside the sink. ;<)

The tip is removable. Maybe uses standard tips. Try calling the manufacturer.

Just twist it one way to loosen and the other to tighten. Maybe there is something wrong with it. Check with the manufacturer. Sorry I could not be more helpful

I think you have to twist and pull at the same time. I can't remember which way you are supposed to twist, so try both ways. If it doesn't move after that I think yours is defective. Mine adjusted without any trouble.

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

We only screw it in to hand tightness. We've never had a problem. I know this sounds dumb, but have you tried putting in different?

With pretty light use, I can no longer get it to feed lead. I have to unscrew the first 2 tip components, feed it out, and carefully slide and screw the tips back in every time I want more lead. Is there any way to fix this?
