I have this stylus - it pops up as soon as the stylus hits the paper and doesn't score. I put masking tape on it at the clamp site and that worked perfectly. Have only used this once. Cricut should fix this.

I purchased this today so I could make come cards and this stylus does not score at all. It doesnt' even touch the paper and it is in all the way. As I research this I see everyone seems to have this problem and is suggesting hacks for it. I am so disappointed since Cricut products have always been so incredible. Is there a flaw with some of these? I would love a replacement if possible. It is like they are a little too short or they need to redesign so this sits lower in the clamp.
I absolutely love this stylus. It's helped me make decorations I otherwise couldn't make. The biggest problem is it won't stay in the A slot like it's supposed to. It keeps popping out of the insert piece rendering the scoring ability. If it stayed in place like it was supposed to, it would definitely get a five star!
When I first did a couple cards I folded them by hand like a caveman. I found this scoring tool by accident and wow does it make things faster and perfect. This is my second one because I gave the other away.
