35 u/2themoon-ride2gether Feb 24 '25 This most often happens when tip loading.. cuts should made at/nearest the base of the blades. Too much force at the tips and you get this result. 9 u/WaxedHalligan4407 Feb 24 '25 Yah, that's what I was thinking too... not enough purchase to get the tool deep enough to be as close as possible to the base, thereby only cutting with the tips. Either that, or cutting the Nader pin thinking it was the hinge?
