Locking Mechanism failed

By akas Ranked #282 - Cookware November 13, 2010

I purchased this item from backcounty and when it arrived, the sliding mechanism that allows you to push the spatula down the handle didnt work. The spatula would not lock in place and would either slide off the handle completely, or push back into the handle when i put pressure on it. IOW, it failed to lock in place

My other jetboil utensil's locking mechanism was just fine, so I decided to return this for another one in case I got a bad batch.

The new spatula arrived and the locking mechanism is solid.

Locks like a quality control issue. If you get one that works, it's great otherwise, but since I had to go through the hassle of returning it and waiting for a new one, it's 3 stars

(though 5 stars for backcountry return experience)
