Striker Boing ?

Thanks for the report!

But you may have spoiled an increasingly irrelavent discussion. Now we'll have to wander off track somewhere else.

We could ask if the spring coils clockwise or counter-clockwise? That might give Peter a laugh. The concentrated application of absurdity can be a wonderful thing.

Now you ask me. I just put it all back together!

Anyway, the tool didn't fit quite right. I could feel that it wasn't properly engaging the striker cut outs. So, I pushed hard and slowly turned it loose. Yes, I did remove that screw second, first was removing the tool head.

Upon removal, I saw what the problem was concerning the tool fit. The half moon cut outs was burred up, probably when last installed.

Now I know that there will be a collective sigh and eyes rolling, but I got my Dremel tool out. I selected a metal cutting bit that was just right and very carefully took off the offending burrs. Now the tool fully seats and is a lot easier to put back on.

Thanks for everyone's input. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably would have never taken it off unless there was some catastrophic problem.
