Remember - it's PuzzleFixer!!!!

oops my mistake

I'm currently working out how to "fix" mine, sounds like I've done exactly the same as you (didn't replace the "thingy"!!!)

Don't bother with WD-40

Use plusgas if you're going to use something

WD stands for Water Displacer it's not strictly a lubricant

[RichAE91]

I'll have you know that I only have ONE broken puzzle in my possession and that is the AlCyl which, to this day, remains fused closed. No one has ever managed to open it and I have not yet had the courage to go against popular wisdom and to try WD40 on it.

some rubber, a vice, and a set of mole grips will pop that thing open no problem (just remember to turn it the right way)

Cristian, another of Wil's puzzles that you might enjoy is Tritalon.

It's one of his cheaper productions but has a clever solution and isn't massively difficult. Plus it's beautifully made and reliable.

And yes...you could solve it in a padded cell if that's your thing.

Hey hey, guys... You've already made me spend a few hundred Euros in a couple of week... Stop it!! I'm already struggling to force myself not to order a Danlock, too...

Part of the problem with me, is that I always fear I'll "miss the train" - what if I don't buy a puzzle now, and after I while I really want it but it's sold out for good? I suppose you can all feel my pain...

I know what you mean.

I think others here may agree with me when I say that the urge to impulse buy does get less and less the more puzzles you have. I used to buy everything and anything because I didn't really know much about them. But as my collection grew I now know more about what's out there and how likely I am to see them available again, so I've calmed down quite a bit. Not completely though.

That said....yes...get a Danlock.

Stop it!!!

Seriously, I still have to order a Revomaze Orange (waiting for a reply from Chris or Joseph before going ahead), and the Aluminum cylinder and now possibly a Tritalon...
And I also like the Lotus (I don't even know if it's available, and *I don't want to know*)!
Look, I have an infant son who needs food and clothes and whatnot, what are you all trying to do to him?

Don't worry, it's not available.

But will be again soon.

I'm in Israel currently, and may well meet with Dan this week ... I'm sure I could talk to him about a Danlock ...

[TheWaddler]

I'm definitely still impulse buying!!! though I've never been tempted to get a Danlock, though that might have just changed ....... slightly
