I just broke my SNARK after a few weeks of use. A clip on the back of the tuner head broke.
I've just searched for repair methods...
one user glued his SNARK to the clamp using gorilla glue...he did away with the extension with the pivot head. He found an orientation that worked.
a second user greased the head on his extension, mounted the head on it, and wrapped the socket joint on the head with fine, fine thread. Then he applied super glue all over the thread. His SNARK works the way it was designed to work. It's flexible and he can position it where he likes. H has a youtube video.

I hope it's ok to post links...glad I didn't throw my SNARK away...
edit: I fixed it! I used the simpler method shown here...found a 2" rubber band, 1/4" wide. I took the SNARK, put the extension in the broken back, then wrapped the elastic band around it many times. It wasn't easy; I tried 4 times before it worked for me. I had to be patient.... Point is I really like my SNARK. I want to keep using it, but I didn't want to buy another.
I figured I had nothing to lose. I could glue the SNARK to the base/clamp if the elastic thing didn't work.
