Default How Do You Keep The Blade Tight On A Harbor Freight Multi-function Tool?

Hi,

How do you keep the blade from coming loose on Harbor Freight's
multi-function tool?

Thanks,
Gary


I never had a problem with my HF tool, but didn't get the bolt tight
enough on my Bosch the other day. Stopped, tightened the bolt, and
everything worked fine.

You may want to try adding a "wave" or spring washer. I'm not certain of
the official/common name (it might be spring washer), but it looks like a
cross between a washer and a Pringles potato chip. This should force the
bolt against the threads and reduce the likelyhood of it backing out. If
that didn't work, I'd then try replacing the bolt.
