Anyone else have problems with the adjuster not working? Nothing happens when I twist it.

Yes, on the ones I received the adjuster didn't make contact with the Factory positions. I had to get the epoxy dough that you knead together from wallyworld and mixed up a blob and stuck it where the bumper should have been, then I could adjust somewhat, I still need to add more. that was on the inside one, the outside one didn't have any adjuster, so I have tried shims etc, but still haven't got it right.

On occasion I will have a problem getting mine to twist to unlock. I have not found a sure fire trick that will unlock it but find it is easier if I do not screw on the foam piece first and did use pliers to get a better grip when I just could not get it to turn. After the first time it happened and I didn't think I would ever get it unlocked now when putting it away I turn it just enough to catch the lock. If you can't get it open send it back as defective and get a replacement.

I sent mine back because I couldn't twist it AT ALL. I ordered a replacement and the second one came without the second half. I gave up. Not sure what the issues were, and the company did reach out to apologize, but I went to a mall and got one because I was done trying to get this one to work.

I had to firmly and repetitively twist each little section of it clockwise while pulling out on it to make sure it stayed extended. Had to keep trying and trying, and finally it worked. (I hope...., keeping my fingers crossed it won't start collapsing again)

When mine stopped working (would not rotate) I took it down to look at it to see if a wire came loose or something, I found nothing. It sat on my bench for about 5 days without touching it, I thought it was done but decided to try it one more time and it worked. I re-installed it and it's still working. I have no answers that would make sense but maybe you should try uninstalling it and let it set. I tried mine several times during the day with no results, it didn't work till I got back to it later. good luck.

I had a similar experience and mine shattered after I tried to tighten up the adjustment nut. I was very disappointed with the sprinkler.

None that I know of, but I never looked. The twist to lock mechanism seemed to be opposite to what I expoected, but now that I am used to it, I make length adjustments almost instantly without thinking about it. To tighten the pole turn the metal pole below the plastic connector. The plastic connector itself does not turn, it is just a dust cover!

Mine doesn't slant for some reason and I don't see that it is adjustable. I keep looking under there and I can't see it would ever move.Last one I had annoyed me b/c it slanted and wiggled. Love that this one is sturdy and straight. Have the company send a new one! Yours might be defective.

Yes, I have had it with mine too... I just ignore it :/ I assumed it just needed a little grease or tightened.

I'm having the same problem & haven't been able to adjust it as yet. Brand new unit. Not happy.

So after contacting mount-it customer support and trying. The hex bit that is in the part that lifts the arm needed to be tightened counter-clockwise. (not clockwise) and it just keeps tightening and doesn't seem to stop. Also there were parts on there that looked like you could put a quarter on and turn it but that was not the case. Anyway the arm lifting part nut turned counter-clockwise a lot. seems to stiffen the thing and give me more control. Im ight keep it now.

I had similar problem but it was because I didn't refer back to the instructions and got the tension knob & the locking knob mixed up. Boy did I feel stupid! I guess "when all else fails, read the instructions" is not as stupid as it sounds. I hope that is not your problem but it is a thought.

I just opened my new tool, and it doens't strip anything. I've used the micro adjuster. I'm not sure if I have a defective grip, or if this is just crap. It's seems like most people find it useful, but I just consider this worthless.

I haven't had a problem -- it comes off when I twist it. Perhaps something is stuck under the cover?

Tighten up the knobs. Mine work fine. I recall having a little hassle positioning the to exactly where I wanted them to be, but I haven't used the saw stops for about a year, so my recall is fuzzy. All multiples are identical. If you get looseness after tightening, then return the product for one that works.

Mine also wiggled but I went back to it the next day, and got it really tight. I think the adjuster helps. It's worth the $10. Another option is taking it to a car seat inspection. They will get it tight for you. I'd gotten mine so tight that the inspector left it alone, saying I installed it perfectly!

This is the older one that works. The new twist kind are useless. Hope this helps!
