Introduction

I have model 11mg0811 it has no screws on the sides and I it will not twist off ,when it's on it makes a lot of noise,I don't want to return it to COSTCO IS THERE SOMEWHERE I CAN TAKE IT,

I've not found any shops locally that take these for repair. After looking at the pictures for the model 11MG0811 it appears that access to the inner workings is similar to an electronic toothbrush that uses a pinch/lock approach which can be quite a bit tougher.

Would this work on a trigger point impact massage gun?

It's making loud noise
