Easiest way to shorten lever tail? I see the notches and know where it needs to be "broken off" but do not want to damage it.

I used a hacksaw to saw down a little then i took a pair of pliers and broke it off. That should do the job.

I have used wire cutters and pliers in the past to break the tail clean. Luckily, if there is any damage, the keyed cylinder is easy enough to replace :)

Funny, you probably superglued it on (like me), since it comes off so easily! Lock down the clamp on the post, and on the head, then rip the bugger off!

Pull it off. As you pull it, it comes to what appears to be as far as it goes, slide it a little more and it will come off. Doesn't hurt it at all. Good luck and happy cutting.

You can either adjust the exposed length of the bolt by screwing it in further and tightening the lock nut or you can shorten the bolt with a saw or bolt shear.

I cut off the curved end with a hacksaw quite easily so that I could attach a longer basket to it. Works great now!

I do not see an easy way of either shortening or extending, unless you have some small jumprings available, looks like these are all sealed. But w/ some 2mm jumprins, I thin would be easy if you had a way to cut a link out.

well don't do like I did and just crank it down from the outside. I broke the inside part. make sure you hold the inside part while you tighten the outside with wrench. If you mess up though it only costs you bout $20. for an offset spicket

Bless the little helper! Unfortunately, no it cannot be shortened. Just an FYI to you and others who read this, I have had mine a few months and the handle cracked so it is wound up in duct tape.

I know what your talking about! I haven't tried very hard to fix this.Im thinking along the lines of shimming it with really thin strips of metal,but I haven't tried this myself,Im also considering welding a bit ,then grinding it till it fits. Best of luck!

You might be able to do it if you use the tailstock to hold the piece on. It is not designed to do that.

I have no idea, that's a good question. Your best bet would be to contact someone at the Hex bug Website. They do need to have those tails glued on or something. They come off very easily.

Agreed. Very easy to change, and the locking levers are secure. Just be sure to check the screws that mount the lever assemblies to the legs. One of mine came loose while I was making an adjustment and the leg section fell out. Not a big deal, fixed with the turn of the screwdriver.

Just press the detent on top of and toward the end of the handle. Quicker and easier than others I've tried.

There is a lever at the back that you move to one side and it separates the bottom part and the top part. I'm assuming that's what you are wanting to do.

Remove Outdoor Handle, Punch Out Metal Hole Plug, Install Lock From the Inside of Handle Assm. You Will Need to Adjust the Rod ( By Breaking off At Scored Area ) so That it Will allow The Proper Length Between Outside Handle and Inside Lock Lever

The first instructions on how to make the swiffer handle shorter are exactly correct. Look for the little buttons on the side of the silver handle and push them in at the same time.

I imagine if you do the math right, there would be no reason why you couldn't shorten it. The only hardware is the corner pieces (right angles). Just remember that you also need to shorten the boards in the center that form the "u" shape.
