You are welcome! The first time the problem happened, I sent the shears in for service. The last time, it was the 'clippers'. They not only replaced the spring in the ailing pair but sent along a new pair! (Funny, the clippers never go on sale). Also, the size of the clipper spring is about one turn less than the Shears, so it makes a small difference when you are trying to keep them in service.
