I just bought this but it came with NO instructions. Can anyone explain to me how to use it? Does pushing the handle rotate it? Do you have to twist?

Step 1 hook the end of the remover around the fish hook.Step 2 squeeze the T shaped handles together until it makes the remover grip the hook.Step 3 remove the fish hook very carefully.You rotate the entire hook remover after getting a firm grip on the hook.

To use the remover, place the shank of the hook into the curved tip of the hook remover. Then draw the shank into the remover by pulling on the fingertip grips. The hook will be drawn tight into the slots in the body of the hook remover and you can twist the hook out of the fish's mouth. NEVER twist without drawing the hook shank into the slot!

You just have to twist the handle to loosen it and then pull up on it . Then twist back. To tighten.

Not sure what you mean by rotating it. But it is movable - you can "fold it" so the seat is open so to say, or "extend it" all the way to the front, up to the handle (I found the shade to be quite generous). Hope it helps.

Does the handle spin in your hand when you do that? Make sure the handle is straight when you put it on the spinner

When you say "twist" do you mean to unlock it in order to change directions? If so mine just took a bit of loosening. I smacked it with a hammer a few times and then was able to reverse the twist with no issue. Ended up working perfectly when I needed to remove the rusted set screws holding the brake rotors on my 2007 Acura MDX. 7 years/75k miles and have never been changed so they were really rusted in there. Two smacks a piece and they came right out!

Make sure you follow the written and pictures in the instructions. The handle should snap in then. Can't explain more than that. I had no problems.

There's a starter button on the right side near the handle. You push that down, hold it and then pull the trigger on the handle. It's a little awkward, so I always had to user two hands to do it. Once you pull the trigger it starts up - so you have to have a good grip so that it doesn't jump forward. I know it sounds a little complicated, but you get the hang of it quickly.

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.

You just have to be gentle with it. I think I had mine get stuck a bit. Make sure it's closing the right way. Might be your best bet is to squeeze both ends of one side where it rotates. Just be careful not to break it. :)

There are so many ways to use the thing and I'm always amazed that it has no instructions with it. Momentum 98 has a lot of "how to use" on their product page. We all had to figure it out by trial and error. Take a look. It's a massage supply store in Columbus, Ohio.

I grab both ends and twist in opposite directions. That way when it folds together it doesn't unfold or bulk up because it is fighting against its self try to rotate in opposite directions. Either way grabbing and twisting the wire in the middle should work for you.

You simply rotate it with your finger. Each rotation sort of "locks" in place, but it is pretty easy to rotate to the next step.

fI do not use my thumb to crank it, I use my wrist/arm to twist. It doesn't take very much pressure to turn it. I put my thumb and fingers around the handle and then use my wrist to turn the handle. I hope this helps

You twist it counter-clockwise and pull, but as I recall I had to bang it on the floor a few times the first time I extended it. If that doesn't work, I would contact the manufacturer. Good luck.

It is a little tricky but mine opens and closes. After inspecting it I see that as you may suspect, turning the handle right tightens it and left loosens it. Yours must be initially stuck. I bet if you can get it to open once you won't have any trouble the next time. ;)

look just below the handle on the main upright before you get to the red release latch. there is a decal where it instructs you to "twist to adjust suction...." it's the only thing you can twist. THANKS for asking - i hadn't noticed it before & i need it, too!!

I think it works like all the others. Instead of pushing forward, you push backward and turn the handlebars. The turning radius is limited. I think this is to add to stability. You can still turn in tight places by alternately moving back and forth or getting off and repositioning it by hand. It isn't very heavy.
