Members Dun Posted February 2, 2019 Members Report Posted February 2, 2019 I’ve now bought 2 different burnishers, one from amazon and another from a well recommended site mentioned here, and both have been shipped with enough of a bend that the dremel gives it a big wobble the regular dremel bits work fine and stay true. Before I email and ask for a replacement, can this be fixed with home tools? at this point I’d be very willing to pay for some extra shipping costs to insure some proper packaging keeps things straight.

Rockoboy Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 Fixing it or not might depend on how it was made. If it has an average to medium quality mild steel shaft, I would put it in a vice and try to straighten it with a piece of tube over it or maybe a cloth wrapped hammer, before sending for a replacement. If its better quality and likely to be harder steel or cast, it might not straighten before the shaft snaps.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 5, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted February 5, 2019 If I ordered it straight, and it came not straight, they'd be getting it back. If they expect me to do work on it, they should have sold me a KIT. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

This. It should - will, have a guarantee. Send them back and ask for good ones. Also ask for repayment of your p&p [s&h] This is a duplicate thread on this subject Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Nothing happens around here without waiting for 2 weeks or more. If I can make adequate repairs, that's what I will do, but I will be more wary if I am buying from them ever again.

Members clc Posted February 5, 2019 Members Report Posted February 5, 2019 I noticed the same thing, not much wobble but a little jumping on the edges. Bought this set off ebay and it's the best I've found. I went back and bought another set, I liked it so much. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-7-Stlye-Pointed-Tip-Cocobolo-Leather-Burnisher-Leather-slicker/172682626960?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Charlie Quote
