I asked the same question not long ago, lol I still only got one out using that tool, but to be honest I have not had much time to sit down and really work hard at getting them out.

Dude man guy, it's tough. But doable. Push as hard as you can, even past the point where you think the tool may break. Have a hard surface that you can push against. I've never tried it, but I wonder if submerging the b/head in warm/hot water may help

I have had the same difficult experience with the changing of X-Act blades.

Look very-very closely at the direction of the pin - the direction is very deceiving.

I worked for two days trying to change blades until I learned the actual direction that the pin is inserted - I was pressing the pin in the incorrect direction.

It is not something that is easily explained in print. Eventually you will see it and it will be somewhat easy.

Good Luck

Were you pushing on the "u" part of the slip mr meat? You must push on the end of the clip where it goes thru the body, located next to the blade.

That's an explanation put out by innerloc.

It has been sometime since I have needed to replace blades.

I have no idea where I was pushing. I finally did it correctly and it worked as it should.

Thanks for the link Scott, some great info on a couple of those reviews. I had no idea the stop collar was used to adjust between two different cutting diameters.
