does the pivot screw come loose easy? i have retired a lot of folders because that screw comes loose and eventually strips out.

I use a little blue loctite. Works well. I use my rat 2 everyday, never loosens.

Use loctite, OR there's this kewl new invention called the internet where you can find just about anything including replacement pivot screws in whatever size you need. ;)

No issues so far, but I don't use mine that much. It is solidly built, though.

I've only had my RST IIs for a short time,but I haven't noticed that problem.I haven't noticdd it in my RAT Is,either. I must admit I rarely put them to much use. I do open and close the blades using the thumb studs and haven't experiencedthe pivot screw loosening. I read almost all the reviews of this knife and didn't see any mention of that being a problem.

yes, it pivots down in either direction for when not in use, or storing. however, it requires a screw driver of sorts to tighten or loosen. so i replaced screw with a wing nut type screw for hand adjustment.

I've had a similar problem. The only thing I've done is squeze the handles together above and below the pivot with a screwdriver. This has worked for me - I hope this helps. Best Regards - Philip

It is possible to open it with one hand because the action will loosen over time.I wouldn't replace it, i'm a knife enthusiast and I've never been more happy with a large folder

sorta, with mine, it disappeared completely, and was nearly impossible to get out, the adapter came with tape on it that apparently was there to help you pull the device out if you needed to take it out. i would recommend the nifty one that costs twice as much if you plan on taking the drive out often, i still use this drive everyday but i never take it out and have locked the drive so i cant accidentally eject it

I've used the older version for years to assemble computers. Never stripped a single screw. Even on the lowest torque setting it will crack a plastic wall switch plate unless you are very careful.

I had mine fall off the wall but I overloaded it big time. I wanted to see how many files it could hold. I maxed each folder out with two to three file folders and some were extremely heavy. I took out a few, screwed it in the wall and it's fine. Pretty durable but you have to watch the weight. Some file holders fall off the holder. I would say 6 out of 10. Okay for the price.

It depends on how much you tighten it. You can tighten the pivot until you can't even get the blade out if you want.Out of the box though, it was slightly towards the easy to open spectrum. The lock up was tight but it still managed to open easily. Not really worried about it opening in a loose bag easy, but able to flipped out with a thumb or by harshly waving the knife, sure.

I've had mine for a while and it's held up great. Just be sure to not over tighten the screw on parts and never over load it. Other than that, it's awesome!

No they don't. The folders themselves are fastened on the bottom, so the folders don't actually open up, which I found to be a disappointment. And if you tear the folder open, which you can, you'll find that the folder is actually quite flimsy, unfortunately.

No. But its something I am fine with. Sometimes I scoot my chair on wheels, too far forward, and the drawer closes a little; have to pull back out. My problem was leaning to hard on the drawer over the years, broke the plastic screw slots off, where it became annoyingly loose.

You can use regular folders but the hanging folders keep everything tidy and in place. I love the cabinet, very sturdy never a worry of falling over.

While these folders don't have a way to fasten things inside the folder, there's always the "old-fashioned" way that only us "oldies" probably know. We used to punch holes in the top of the folders, insert metal "Acco Paper Fasteners..or prongs" which Amazon does have and voila! you now have a paper fastener! Hope this helps.

I've used in the past but not with recent ones. In the past, I didn't find it held up to any abuse. If you are going to put documents into and out of the unit with any frequency, you're better to mount it with the screws. I don't recall if it damaged the paint - I would imagine, if it's any good at all.

It is very stable. I have loaded it up with heavy duty (heavyweight) manila folders and have had no problem - it doesn't budge. When you carry it, carry it by the handles. I am beginning to use it for Pendaflex files, also. It's wonderful for both manila and pendaflex.

I haven't had any problem with the file drawer, but i haven't over filled it yet. The middle drawer bottom kept falling out of it's slot, so I hot glued it. The other drawers seem ok, but are not as deep as the desk itself, so there's some wasted space there. They do come with glides, the inexpensive type.

I've had mine for about a year and the only time it's come loose is when I unscrew it.
