The flat spring for the top cap was broken when I got the set. A Newbie mistake of mine but you live and learn.
So I looked at it and figured out how the original tensioning worked. I took a small paper clip and wound it around and through the top cap and Voila - fixed. It snaps open and closed and holds the blade snug.
