    Tania, Mine had quit working a number of years ago and I just pulled it apart thinking if all else fails, I would just get a new one. I didn't have your video to help me so I didn't go as far as disassembling it as you did, but it worked again. But recently it was screeching and jamming so bad I went to look for a "fix it" video and found yours. WOW...thanks for an amazingly simple and straightforward step-by-step. I found an amazing amount of little paper scraps in it. I cleaned it all out and now it almost works like new (it is 11 years old, so wasn't expecting miracles). I've saved your video for next time!

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! My Big Shot developed a nasty grinding noise when I used it and it wasn't cutting at all well. I followed your video to take it apart and could see that one bearing was broken. I ordered near bearings and made sure I had the necessary tools, found a tutorial for replacing a bearing and this morning I set to work. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to give it a go. I had to buy a pair of circlip pliers and 2 new bearings (always good to have a spare) but for the small sum of £10 I have a good as new Big Shot!

    Thank you so much for this video! My Big Shot was very hard to turn. It almost felt locked up. I took it apart and cleaned and lubricated the gears with bike chain spray lubricant, and now it turns so freely! I don't think it's been this good since I bought it. Thanks again for the great video! I would've thought it was broken and thrown it away if I hadn't seen this. Thanks so much for taking the time!

    We took ours to pieces and found that the small shaft that the handle turns had seized up. The two holes were full of crud, and took some scrubbing with an old toothbrush and some WD-40 to get it turning. We added a few drops sewing machine oil to both holes and the handle once again turns.

    My Big Shot has squeaked loudly for weeks and then just stopped turning altogether a few days ago. Thanks to your tutorial my husband and I were able to pull it apart and discover that the rod that turns the small gear was getting stuck. We added WD40 and grease to the rod and after much turning of the handle and reassembling it's as good as new! Thanks :)

    Thank you for posting this. I had my platform and die stuck in my Big Shot. Taking it apart and giving it one spray of wd-40 did the trick. I am so impressed at how smooth it is running now. It took a little wiggling to get it back together but without your instructions I would probably still be trying to figure it out. This was great.

    Thank you. I'm hoping that my model of Big Shot is similar enough to yours and I can repair it. My heart sank when I heard a God Awful "SNAP" last night that sounded like a gun shot! I thought I had cracked the plastic plate. But no the handle turns but the dies will not cut. I thought there was some sort of spring in there that broke but I dont see any springs in your video. Well it's time to be brave and start getting those screws off. Thank you!

    • @janasher4940
      @janasher4940 Месяц назад

      I'll bet one of the rods that rolls the rollers snapped. Now the top or bottom roller isn't on a rod so it shifts to the right or left when you try to run a die through. Take that apart and look at the rods inside those gears that she showed in the video. She mentioned a pin in each rod - pull the pin out and see if you can pull the rods out from either side. if it comes out broken, you just need to buy that rod again, slip it inside the roller, and pin it in place. I'm assuming that both sides use a shear pin mechanism to keep it locked into place. If at a loss on what to buy, take the broken piece to a couple of machine shops and ask them if they have rods already that can be drilled for the shear pins. And always ask at least 2 shops for a quote - or have a man go and ask. If a woman comes with this question, the price will be close to a designer handbag!

    • @johnshaw5978
      @johnshaw5978 3 года назад

      @@leslieobrien7984 Remove the circlip from the lower roller, then remove the gear. Then remove the plates at the other end (4 screws). Finally, with the diecast frame well supported use a press to press the shaft, roller and bearing right through. I have not needed to change mine yet but you can see that the roller diameter is slightly smaller than the bearings so you can press them straight through. Rule of thumb: If Sizzix can figure how to press it together, Both Maryann and Leslie O'B can press it apart! Can probably do it with a mallet if you don't have a press but a press will be easier as it won't skew the bearings in the press-fit holes. Take your time and have fun. :-)

    Imagine being this person who possibly hasn't heard of deltarune seeing all this [[BIG SHOT]], [[$4.99]], [[KROMER]], [[Heartshapedobject]], and [[Hyperlink Blocked]] in the comments section. That must be [[Fifty percent off!]] as [[HEAVEN]]!

    I am still afraid to try taking my Big Shot apart when it needs work. So far it is working fine. Is there someone, somewhere who is an expert in this job?
