Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose
The patented safety plate is designed to secure the head. If significant looseness occurs, contact Wilton customer support as this may indicate a defect.
Head appears damaged
Inspect the head for cracks or significant chips. For normal wear and tear, the durable steel is designed for impact. For structural damage, contact Wilton support.
Grip feels slippery
Ensure the vulcanized rubber handle is clean and dry. Excessive grease or moisture can reduce grip. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
