Protech Malibu Lock Stick Semi-Solution

[texastyler]

I personally love the Malibu's design but like many I have ran into a bit of lock stick. This method worked for me and may not for you but I felt I should blab about it somewhere.

A mechanical eraser. Like this

I know, weird right? So I'm a artist and I had this laying around. I used the fine tipped one to "erase" all the junk around the locking mechanism and all that jazz in there.

And boom, wayyy less lock stick. That's why I call this the "semi-solution" because, well, it's not entirely gone, but it did help a lot. And maybe it will for you.

Just a thought!

Happy Flipping.

I used a Pink Pearl eraser (all I had available) to rid myself of lock stick on a new Medford Der Hund.

It really works.

Lube the plunge lock button where it contacts the tang.

If she starts acting up again I'll lube her, for sure. The knife not the wife.

Well...I guess both could be good.
