I wouldn't hope for any relief from the manufacturer. I believe that they have gone under because all forms of contact have evaporated and I have had Amazon and Toby's tool shed try to make contact through their channels without success. As for repairs, the loppers themselves are pretty simple mechanically and the insides are pretty accessible by undoing the bolts. My guess is that one of the gears is hung up and just needs some gently persuasion to correct the problem. If you don't want to try or give up on them let me know. Good Luck. Jim

You should be able to use a small screw drive and push the release inside the slotted area just above and to the left of the open marking on the arm that moves. I tried this on mine and it would release the jaw. Hope this will help!

I would suggest starting with contacting Pachmayr. I know they are a good co. and should stand by their products. It may cost a few bucks to replace but would be worth it. I have these grips and love them.

Now that you mention it, it was in there pretty tight. I did use the correct type of screwdriver to eventually open. Im looking at the screw that was rremoved and its stripped. I guess I will tread lightly next time the screw needs to be undone. This sounds like its a defect overall in the product workmanship. Good luck.

Try to push it back in and if still no good, you could send it back and I hope and sure, the company should send you a replacement. Give them a call and see what they will say. Good luck and happy new year to you.

I just had the same problem. GRRRR What did you end up doing to get it open?

Any Ace Hardware should be able to take care of the problem. Bring a sample of any remaining screws or the assembly instructions will/should have the sizes of the parts needed - that should put you back in business. Happy shoveling.

First make sure you have a connection to the web. If you do and It does the same then I don't know what you can do yourself but you can do some other things. Contact the seller and tell them the problem. If you had this for too long a time then they may not do anything for you. If your past your guarantee time then I would just go to an electronic store. Be very polite and ask them If they can help you solve the problem. If they say a part needs to be replaced then It's up to you If you choose to repair It. Personally, I would toss It out. It may cost more to repair then what you paid for It. Life's lessons can sometimes be costly. Never buy a cheap gadget again. There's a reason why It's cheap. I didn't buy mine for myself but for a relative. I told him over and over to not buy It but he did and It broke. Better to save your money and buy a better one with a better brand and a good warrantee. Other then that.... Good luck!

If you can't unscrew and adjust send it back. Customer service through amazon is very good. Just request that you want to return it and an address label should be provided dto you in good time.

I don't know for sure. But if you look to the picture, the tool is designed to work w 6 lugs (the up-right & the outer holes from bottom-left side of picture) On my Aveo was very tight, almost too small, but on blazer I don't think you will have this kind of problem. Why don't you contact the manufacturer?

Try prying it open with a screwdriver or a butterknife.try pressing it down then pry up.

Just checked the system and it's a 'No fit'. So I would not take the chance. In my case, the system sait that it would fit my blazer when it actually was not the case. I finally checked with my local dealer to have the right piece number for my truck before buying a replacement elsewhere.

I cannot get mine to open either. Set it to TREE and then tried quite a few other nearby possibilities... Sending mine back. Bad directions or someone was feeling mischievous!

I have been buying this product for years and have never had this issue like this one. Some one strong than yourself to open it :-)), or a rubber lid gripper you can find in most grocery stores. Good Luck, it's a great product!

Sorry I did not have any trouble opening it by just pulling up on it. I suggest instead of breaking it just returning it to Amazon or going online to Sylvania and get the manual if its posted and see how it opens. My wife and I shared it on a flight last week and it worked fine.

Not to give you a smart answer, but, I would send it back for repairs. I bought two of them last summer and so far have had no issues with them. However, with their warranty, I would not hesitate to send either one or both back if I had issues. I am going to pull both of mine down this weekend-hunting season is over here- I will know then if they have developed any problems since they were down last. I will run them for at least 6 more weeks. Hope this helps.

You should try the rod first that came with your gun, if not you could risk opening it up or try sending it in for repair

You must go to an oreck store and make them for free repair it. Make sure to tell them you bought it brand new and show proof. I was given the run around by a sales rep but I did find my amazon receipt stating it was bought new and they fixed it for free. Sorry it broke on you. Oreck should stand by their products and they now have franchised out.
