| Handle rotation is stiff. | Accumulated dirt or debris in the pivot mechanism. | Clean the pivot area. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary (avoiding contact with grip surfaces). |
| Magnets not picking up items. | Item is not metallic or is too heavy for the magnet. | Confirm the item is ferrous metal. Use the jaws for non-magnetic items. |
