One of my legs on my Manfrotto tripod doesn't stick and easily falls. Is there a way to tighten the leg locks?

Contact Manfrotto. I think that is under warranty.

My Manfrotto monopod came with a little tool for doing just that. It was on the shaft. It kinda clamps to the leg & snaps off. Sure you don't have one on yours?

Don't you just tighten the screws on the back side of the locking clamp?

Yes there is a single screw at each clamp that you need to tighten

For my manfrotto video tripod you can tighten it up with the appropriately sized alen key.

My Manfrotto tightens with the appropriate sized socket and ratchet wrench
