Problems With Spring On Spyderench

[WTFOver]

I wonder if I'm the only one... Has anyone else noticed a problem with the spring for the file /screwdriver bit / lock on their Spyderench? I have noticed that it will expand after a few uses and make it impossible to replace the file /screwdriver bit / lock once it has been deployed. It appears that the spring should either:



1) Have a smaller I.D. to keep it from expanding over the shoulder of the file /screwdriver bit / lock.



2) Be manufactured from a stronger material with greater “memory” to retain its shape.



3) Have the loose end of the spring attached to the main body of the spring.



4) Anything that the WIZARDS OF SPYDERCO determine to bring this fine tool up to their normally high standards of Fit, Function, and Form.



I hate to complain however I have found that this problem has been enough of a reason for me not to carry it. I still end up using/carrying my Leatherman, Gerber, or SOG tool and I would really like to be able to rely on my Spyderench.



Anyone found a viable fix for this problem?

No you're not alone..same thing with mine.. I just sent it into the SPYDER-Web to have it checked out...LOL..
The spring won't let me put the screwdriver/file back in so I have a bitless ( they fall out) open Wrench..And I use it ALOT..sooooo I agree the spring needs to be changed..or something..
I already miss my wrench..it went back yesterday
Its a new design so without all of us actually using it they'd never know...
I know they'll come up with a slution!

Hi WTF. We've since changed the spring to a smaller diameter. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Probably be best to shoot it to us and have us change it out, plus any other refinements not done to yours.

Thank you BRAM and Sal, I don't feel so all alone now. I have sent my Spyderench off to the shop and can't wait to see the changes when it comes back. I believe that any fix put in place by Spyderco will more than live up to my expectations. I have always been very impressed with them.
