[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 389883, member: 6843"] You know,I have read were so many people lost their tillers. I don't understand how a motor can pop off unless it's just not clamped down hard. I have physically used and exhausted every bit of strength to turn my clamps as tight as possible. I can maybe turn the clamp a bit more with a pliers or a wrench. Question? Should I try to turn it more with pliers if I can or will the plastic handles snap from it? I'm not a weak guy and have pretty strong hands and I can barely move the clamps by hand anymore but I bet with a wrench I may be able to go one more full turn with force but if it's not needed I will leave it be.
