A little wd-40 can do wonders. The real issue is preventative, IMHO. If you take good care of the stuff while you're using it (don't overtighten things, etc.) it lasts a whole lot longer.

Members FitchFY Posted December 12, 2006 Members Share Posted December 12, 2006 This can be weather-related, too! Don't let your hardware get too dirty or moist, as it can create friction and rust. As Old Steve said, WD40 is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tripod trilogy Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 what brand is your hardware? i know that some of the pearl stuff gets really hard to open/close with the temperature changes, not much you can do about it though.
