Hi,

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


You make sure the blade is seated properly on the pins, then crank the
hell down on the holddown bolt.



The earlier HF tool did not have alignment pins (the later ones do have
them). It was just the friction of the tightened bolt that kept the
blade from turning.


If you run it loose very many times,
you'll lose the edges on the pins and ruin your tool, so DON'T.
