the hawk is great and even better if you are a big name getting grips etc for a better price or even free!...i love the hawk but for the average tattooer working to pay the rent...well it aint user friendly....a great machine let down by the costs that come with it.

is this a common problem? I've been using mine for the past 6 months with no issue.. and got I it secondhand.

do you ultra sonic and autoclave it??????The grip i mean????

noo i always barrier then dis grip cover thats y its frustrating lol

i had the same problem with mine..after a while stoped clicking or move at all, i think could be some MadaCide entering inside the mecanism and clog it maibe..put some DW40 and now it`s fine, but lost the clicking : ( ..

Just wondering...don't you keep your receipts for taxes? As far as the Hawk problem, I ran with one for 8 months or so and never had the problem you're talking about....but I'd need more info on how you're handling it in set up, etc to be of any help
