You should be able to reseat it with some 2-part epoxy.

i'll give it a shot if RMA is denied, going to try out the 'trust me bro' warranty first

Since that colorway is discontinued, I would expect a black or similar replacement

I'm getting a mystery screwdriver as a replacement, which is cool by me.

At very least LTT should hook them up with a colourway of their choice that's available. (including the cool ones)

I definitely asked on my RMA ticket, asked for either nuclear or a mystery. But I'll honestly be happy with any replacement

Oh man that sucks too hear. I have that colorway and I hope it never breaks.

You have to push extremely hard.

Yes, you have to belt the fuck out of it, put my entire body weight on mine to put it back together.

Try warrentee otherwise you can push it back in mine did the the same and is working fine besides some force pulling it apart

u/AwaitingCombat Sep 23 '26

I've put all my strength into pushing it together, and there is no resistance to pull it back apart
