HOW TO SOLVE THE SCREW PROBLEM It was a great fruit press

Bartender Review! HOW TO SOLVE THE SCREW PROBLEM This was an excellent juicer that worked like clockwork. I bought it after some pretty good reviews. However, I noticed an issue with the screw mount posted in the Questions section. But since such problems were few at the time, I took a chance. We use them daily in two separate rods. After a few months, one of the screws actually came loose. I added duct tape like any good Irish bartender to restore the snug fit, it took a week then another unit showed the exact same error. The bolt mount that holds the actual top press to the frame is made from an extremely weak alloy. . It breaks threads very easily, this is definitely a major design flaw and the use of the wrong materials for a very important part of this device. The rest of the press is made from heavy duty metals, WHY use a cheap piece of metal? to complete what could have been a 5 star device. I contacted the seller, NO replacement parts were delivered. And the return of that entity was not in their lexicon. Ok, screw problem. Go to your local hardware store and buy a standard 1/2 inch (half inch) nut. Place the nut where your original unit had the screw. take the hammer assemble, I have attached photos so you can get a better idea. It's going to be a good fit but that's what we want, once it's in bulk you need to hit the NUT harder, you'll deform the end of the pressure plate a bit, don't worry about that. Try not to remove this part after reattaching it, clean it while it is still in place.
