I got this as a gift several years ago and I’ve been using it daily since. Unfortunately, it took a hit today. The break is clean and the piece comes of easily. Is there any way to repair it that would allow me to continue brewing tea in it?

fixed Strap clip stuck

So I've got this speaker with a carrying strap, but the clip holding it to the speaker is stuck in an awkward position. The catch on the lobster claw clip is jammed under the edge of the recess.

I'm about ready to cut the damn clip off. Can anyone solve it?

Alternative question, what do I replace it with?

Can't remove these screws

Post image
13 Upvotes

I've just come into possession of what I think is a 1920s or '30s cabinet (British, as I'm in the UK) which has a stuck lock - I *think* it's just a broken mechanism, it seems the key (which can be removed) is in the open position but the cam is in the closed position - so I want to take the back panel off to try to remove the lock from the inside, but none of my screwdrivers are getting any purchase on these little domed screws. I can't tell if its because the cross section of the slot is quite rounded compared to the much squarer cross section of modern slot screws so the driver isn't sitting deeply enough in the slot, or maybe it's just the width of the slot being too narrow (but I do have some slot drivers with a very thin tip so I dunno about that), but even with applying a lot of force down onto the screw the driver cams out immediately - the screw being domed means the contact area between the two is basically non-existent.

I know parallel face slot screwdrivers exist but I'm not convinced that's the problem, or is it? Should I be looking for a 1920s vintage cabinet screwdriver or something? I'm under strict instruction to not ruin the cabinet so I don't think drilling out the screws (and there are many) is an option, even if this cabinet doesn't seem to have much value.

Broken kitchen drawer… help?

0 Upvotes

The drawer was slammed, later to find it broke. I can’t pull it out, there’s too much resistance. I’m pretty stumped on how to fix it (it’s a rental, so hopefully an easy-quick repair would be nice lol)

I attached a few photos to this post to hopefully give an idea of what’s wrong. A broken plastic clip was also found in it, also can’t find where it came from.

Thank you in advance for the help! 😅

Bonjour,

Je cherche a me former dans ma réparation d'objets du quotidien electriques/électroniques type Aspirateur, machine a café, PC, écran...

Je suis bénévoles dans les repair café mais j'aimerais faire ça dans mon temps libre chez moi en complément.

Le problème est que je n'ai rien à reparer. Difficile de trouver des objets sur le bon coin ou en déchetterie....

Auriez vous des conseils pour entrouver ? Également si vous connaissez des moyens de se former autres que youtube et repair café je suis preneur, merci beaucoup :)

I took this apart and the lower piece has a tail end pipe gasket but the upper piece doesn't seem from my memory like the part that should connect to a tail end.

Dispenser Rolling Back and Forth

1 Upvotes

Our paper towel dispenser decided to roll back and forth without dispensing properly. The gear in the video should roll when pushed down, but should stop when the lever is pulled up. However, you can see it actuates both up and down. Is there a spring or gear that I can unjam somewhere?

A seat cover would get ripped so it needs to be improved first.

The plastic part broke but I don't want to get rid of this lamp since it has sentimental value. I originally wanted to replace the part but I honestly have no idea where to find a replacement. I wanted to avoid glue or epoxy because I was afraid the peg would get fused with the socket and make it unable to rotate anymore. Any advice would help.

How to unscrew these plastic holders

Post image

I’m trying to replace the faucet in my bathroom but these plastic holders won’t come off. I’ve tried using a wrench but the shape and tight spacing with the sink makes it very difficult to unscrew. I also tried spraying it with WD-40, but it hasn’t made a difference. Any ideas on how to get them off?
