RAGE-FIX my Office Chair 😤🔧

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 :)

Good fix Mehdi!

Nah, buying a replacement chair for 10 000$ is better

Looks like an Aeron knockoff. Seat isn't mesh.

You 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.

my mom has the same issue with her chair leaning forward but wont recline like yours.

For sure mate, just bring it on!!

Hauke Marquardt

Definitely worth it! A new chair can never give you the satisfaction that a rage fix will bring you

I want to see you use power tools more often :) much love.

Nice, I also rage fixed my router! Lol

If that’s a Herman Miller Aeron, I believe it’s(was as after “improvement”) under warranty. It something like 12 years.

Or....or... and I know this is sooo crazy it might just work...but...you could have bought the correct sized bolt. Just sayin' :)

I'm actually impressed with your grinder job, seems like it went pretty well.

Little coloured duck tape on the bottom of the chair .. good as new

Don't know! That's the only one that fits, so it better be great 10!

ElectroBOOM [Mehdi Sadaghdar]

Nah!

The chair shall work for a long time!

that would be fixing his office chair. not rage fixing his office chair

Why 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.

i 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.

The hammer bit was so satisfying. 😁 Was it worth the time versus buying a new chair??

Maybe with the chair fixed productivity will be better 😜

Yes please!

Mehdi, I hope that you used a Grade 8 bolt!!! :-)
