Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

The screw head was at the bottom of a 2 inch shaft.

They didn't have to cut shit.

Which was discovered AS RESULT of cutting open.

You are quite spammy, aren't you?

No, the shaft was not uncovered as a result of cutting the thing open. They were able to reach the screw-head with a regular screw-driver, just not turn it. Says right there in the post.

Learn to read, stop spamming people with your shit takes, and sure, let's pretend replying to your copy-pasted bullshit with more copy-pasted bullshit is somehow worse. Anything to feed trolls like you.

I'll reply with your quote:

This was NEVER about access to the screw.

Thanks for stating obvious. I've never said that it was about access.

Since its not about access then they never had to break anything for any reason besides their own impatience, plain and simple.

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.
