You know the 2 grey circle parts, where they cover the screw? One of mine is always falling off. I'm amazed it hasn't gotten lost yet. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm debating gluing it in place, but wasn't sure if that would be good for them. Thanks.
 
I dont like these as much as the old ones. In fact, I keep them in my demo kit and that's it! You can still get the old ones on the outlet for 5 bucks! So much better if you ask me!
 
I love mine. Contact the HO for a replacement. They shouldn't do that.
 
I am with Vanessa - I HATE the new ones - they only work at the tips - whereas the older ones could literally cut thru anything! I stocked up on my older ones! That said - my kids also only like the older ones - even though I have my new ones in my TTA - they always complain we have none when the new ones aren't put back - I just wish they would have made them in Black -
 
I like the old ones. I have two. I don't like the new ones, either. I sent an e-mail to HO about what I don't like. I actually got a call back, but I wasn't home. Send an e-mail and tell HO exactly what you don't like. Maybe if enough of us complain they will fix them. The gray "lock" moves as I'm cutting and gets in the way so I can't close the handles together for cutting. Chincy. I have a hard time keeping my hands in the right spot on the handle, too. They tend to work their way towards the blade for some reason. The grip is not good.
 
I don't know the old ones, just know that I don't like the ones we have now. Not big enough - also, because I like to cut chicken, I like to be able to take the scissors apart and put them in the dishwasher. Gets all the nooks cleaned. Paranoid that way.

You can get the old ones on the outlet now! Just $5. And so worth it. Talk about cutting thru chicken, makes it cut like butter! ;)

Thanks for the outlet suggestion, but I don't think I'll do that. I like the ones I have (besides the circle part), and it would be more expensive for me to buy a new pair (from the outlet) than replace the ones I already have.
