Why won't my brush stay screwed onto the handle?

I have not had a problem with the brush coming off. The fit is tight between the handle and the brush. If yours is a little loose, maybe you could wrap the end of the handle with one or more layers of electrical tape to take up the slack.

It is very tricky...but just set it on the edge with the little connections on back in place. You may have to check it at times. Once it is in place, you can then replace the blade. Also, make sure the one end of the brush is at the end (left end)...this will help align it in place better.

Mine has never popped off. I'm not sure if it's fixable after that happens. I would think so though. I would put some baby oil on the plastic points wher the handle pivots in and then try to slide the handle back in positon. If that fails....... write te manufacturer and see what they say.

No. I did not have any problems. But make sure the brush head is on. If it is not pushed in correctly it will not work.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top. **UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

There are 2 screws that hold it on. One at the bottom and one at the top. One of the screws requires that you remove the inner "trim ring" which just snaps out. Be careful to not over tighten as this handle is plastic and you could damage it.

If it is Error 3 and the picture of the arrows going in a circle, I have been successful by:1) remove the edge brushes and check for coiled up hair2) remove the main beater brush and pull off end caps; check for hair/debris3) When replacing main brush, carefully inspect the groove shape on the squared end of the brush end cap. It should drop in easily; you should not have to force it. If you have to push it in, then it is not correctly aligned.Hope this helps.

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. ;)

Mine is remaining tight so far but I have not used the shovel very much yet. I did look at how they attached it to the handle and it looks like a "wedge" type of system with two screws. It looks like they attached the wedge on the handle at the factory and then slide the plastic shovel down onto it. If mine does loosen up I will drill a small hole in the topside of the shovel and install a screw into the handle. Good luck with yours, other than the issue you are having, the shovel does work very well and the longer handle is very nice especially if you are tall...

The handle collapses or extends as you twist it. You need to have some muscle to do it so you may have to have someone assist. The best place to grip it is near where the silver part meets the blue part. also tightens there. Good Luck.

I use a Badger brush and hang it with the bristles down, with the top of the handle resting on the holder arm. In a perfect world, not satisfied with it... but world's not perfect and neither is holder but it works.

There are two screw locks on the handle. One is a screw on the end of the handle, and the other is an internally threaded collar that slides up and down the handle. The first thing you do is push the handle hard into the mop head, and turn it clockwise to tighten it into the broom head. It CAN be slightly difficult to push it into the broom head, because there are some bumps on the handle that have to be pushed into the broom head pretty hard - they kind of "snap" into the head and then you can tighten it. After the handle is screwed into the head, you slide the collar down onto the broom head and tighten that. The collar prevents the handle from twisting out of the head.

Yes, I reported the same problem. But I have not thought yet how to solve it. May be, if you use some metal file and round somwhat the insertion sides of the cutters, they possibly can go easier into the handle. I have not tried it yet myself.

My bottle brush will only fit with the handle down, brush up , tilted side ways. It works , but hangs out.

The two sides of the frame meet in the middle and the brush sort of sits in the groove btwn. I have it with a hollow-core door and it is staying put but the brush isn't quite as secure as I'd like. I just need to reseat it now and again, especially after my 5 year old pulls off the excess hair and the brush tries to come along!

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!
