Is "glass breaker" tip generally a little wobbly? There is definite play in it on mine and not sure if they're all like that or if I need a return?

Mine is the exact same. I asked some folks in SAR and they said that's the way it should be. Hope that helps.

The carbide glass breaker tip should not have any play in it. The pen top should thread down tightly. And the Handcuff key should also fit securely. If the glass breaker tip is loose in its fitting send it back for repair or replacement. I haven't heard of any issues with returning defective products. Hope this helps.

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.

There's some play in mine as well. That part doesn't bother so much as the fact that you have to unscrew the pen itself to cover the pen tip.

I found that the tip is wobbly but only if you don't have the cuff key screwed in all the way. Once I tightened the cuff key into the cap the tip was rock solid.

I do have a little wobble of my yakima rack, maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch (?) at the most. I do not find it an issue for me. I have had 2 bikes on the rack for a trip of 8 hours straight one way and did not have any issue with the rack feeling like it was bouncing back and forth. The pin has stayed in place and I have not felt as though I have needed to re-tighten the bolt. The moveable wheel base on the rack, I do retighten from time to time. I got a yakima hitchlock to use on the bolt (although you do have to play with it a little to get it to lock). I feel better about leaving the rack on the car unattended and not getting stolen, but I also feel like it is one added safety feature to keep the bolt from coming off. And an FYI, I have had problem with getting the arm to 'lock' good when it is on my bike and have had it release as soon as I am taking off in the driveway. I have been able to avoid that issue with using a bike lock around my mid bike to the rack that holds the arms that slide up and down. With using that, I have had no other issue and have never had a bike come loose while on the road. If you have more play than what I described, I can only suggest going to a local bike shop to see if they can help you troubleshoot the issue. I hope this helps.

I advise you to send it back. I haven't tried to use mine yet. But it looks really tinneyand not very sturdy. I guess I should try it and see if mines as bad as yours.

Mine did not wobble, but it did go dark after a few rounds.I think it's a glitz in the battery compartment. need to get it worked out.

We used to have the rim lowered because the neighbor kids liked to be able to dunk. Two concerns.....first, I'd be concerned about the unit tipping forward. I have extra weight on the base to prevent tipping, so I was less concerned. But I think adults hanging on the basket could be an issue. I have a neighbor with the same unit who had the unit tip forward and the glass broke. Second, I'd be a little concerned about both the rim bending...it's strong but not sure if it's that strong. But also the glass breaking. The rim mounts metal to metal, so it should not pinch the glass. However, the flexing that could occur might be an issue. My two cents.

Hi KarenWe have not used the glass model, so I cannot help you positively. This is used in our Quality Control lab in a food factory, and we have to use the stainless steel only.So far, no complaints of wobbling!

Yes these wobble like mad, and it's very easy to break the bolt securing the yolk to the pedestal when moving it if you're not careful. The motor is pretty strong so if your floor is the least bit uneven the fan will wobble. It may also be the pedestal itself is slightly asymmetrical. Try stuffing a matchbook or folded up piece of paper under an edge like you would a wobbly coffee table. As to the tilting issue, try tightening the thumb screws more securely or buy new nuts/washers to go behind them.

I'm not a pro, just a homeowner. I suspect that the bottom is not tipped back enough, meaning that the bottom (or top, for that matter) is lower inside the window than outside the window. Perhaps the metal right angles that are supposed to be screwed into the window frame have bent.

Mine bounces. What is the best way to adjust it to eliminate the bounce? Is it the joint where you tighten it with that super long-stemmed tool they give you? I have tightened it there but it still bounces.

Sounds like you have a defective one. We had to send one back too. They replaced it. It shouldn't wobble and those pegs should fit snug in the holes. If you've never returned anything to Amazon before, just click under your account and then orders. It's easy.

it does take a little pushing effort but i think it's normal and i don't adjust it often. the company would know better than any amazon purchaser. i would call them before returning it.

Mine is also wobbly! I am having problems with it; am sure I put it together correctly but it is not very sturdy. Has anyone else found this and what did you do?

I didn't have that problem, but I will say that the shade is never on tight enough so that it isn't wobbly. I am not happy and when I contacted the company they were not very helpful. I went out and bought some rubber washers but could only put one on otherwise it was to high and couldn't screw the shade screw back on. I am not happy overall with this lamp but it is very pretty and they wouldn't take it back said no returns. I asked for extra crystals and they never sent them just ignored my request since some of them were missing or broken. I would not recommend this lamp or buying from this company ever again. Customer service is the worse ever. I didn't have that problem, but I will say that the shade is never on tight enough so that it isn't wobbly.

The base is a little tippy. Most floor lamps need to be stabilized. Mine is on a tile floor and rocks a little.

Have not noticed that. Maybe if pushed up on center from bottom?? But there was no wobble at all setting up or in use. I didn't get any movement from center at all. Was used on Berber carpet.

It shouldn't happen that often. I've had mine for some time now and its inly popped like 3 times. If this happens too many times you might want to adjust the tension of your springs. The center pieces have caps that you can pop off and then you will be able to adjust the tension from there.

I've not had any problem with it tipping. It's working better than I expected it to.
