RAGE-FIX my Office Chair 😤🔧
Added 2021-05-21 01:34:03 +0000 UTCHey All! I remembered the time I wasn't just putting electronics in my main channel! So I thought to continue my Rage-Fixing videos from Mehditation to ElectroBOOM since they are sort of handyman short videos. What do you think?

When Mehdi whipped out the grinder, I thought he was going to grind the head down on the bolt so it could fit in the gap and do the same to the nut on the other side. I guess his method worked fine too :)
2021-05-21 21:07:11 +0000 UTCGood fix Mehdi!

2021-05-21 17:51:09 +0000 UTCNah, buying a replacement chair for 10 000$ is better
2021-05-21 16:15:10 +0000 UTCLooks like an Aeron knockoff. Seat isn't mesh.

2021-05-21 15:01:00 +0000 UTCYou could have just bought an official replacement bolt for $89.95. Oh, and an official replacement nut for only $32.99. Maybe also replacement washer (x2) @ $17.99 ea.

2021-05-21 15:00:11 +0000 UTCmy mom has the same issue with her chair leaning forward but wont recline like yours.

2021-05-21 11:10:34 +0000 UTCFor sure mate, just bring it on!!
2021-05-21 11:05:11 +0000 UTCDefinitely worth it! A new chair can never give you the satisfaction that a rage fix will bring you

2021-05-21 10:25:58 +0000 UTCI want to see you use power tools more often :) much love.
2021-05-21 08:00:38 +0000 UTCNice, I also rage fixed my router! Lol
2021-05-21 07:41:59 +0000 UTCIf that’s a Herman Miller Aeron, I believe it’s(was as after “improvement”) under warranty. It something like 12 years.
2021-05-21 07:05:53 +0000 UTCOr....or... and I know this is sooo crazy it might just work...but...you could have bought the correct sized bolt. Just sayin' :)
2021-05-21 05:25:33 +0000 UTCI'm actually impressed with your grinder job, seems like it went pretty well.

2021-05-21 05:11:40 +0000 UTCLittle coloured duck tape on the bottom of the chair .. good as new

2021-05-21 05:09:30 +0000 UTCDon't know! That's the only one that fits, so it better be great 10!

2021-05-21 04:23:24 +0000 UTCThe chair shall work for a long time!

2021-05-21 03:10:00 +0000 UTCWhy not just grind the screw head instead of the chair framing? If your butt is big enough to break a bolt, it's certainly big enough to bend weakened sheet steel. But, grinding the screw doesn't weaken the force-bearing part. I guess you'd have to drill a hole on the threaded side and place a cotter pin to hold it in place. But, still.

2021-05-21 02:38:52 +0000 UTCi have a 2x4 running up the back of mine. it is supported by 1/8" x 1" x 3' aluminum strip. it is drilled to attach to the arm rest bolts and then the bottom has a steel L bracket bolted through the seat, then through the backrest and 2x4. it leans a little to the left and makes funny noises sometimes.

2021-05-21 02:32:26 +0000 UTCThe hammer bit was so satisfying. 😁 Was it worth the time versus buying a new chair??

2021-05-21 02:22:24 +0000 UTCMaybe with the chair fixed productivity will be better 😜
2021-05-21 02:21:32 +0000 UTCYes please!

2021-05-21 02:15:35 +0000 UTCMehdi, I hope that you used a Grade 8 bolt!!! :-)
