Leg snaps apart at same joint. Any do-it-your-self fixes?

I tried electrical tape (for some resistance to keep them from popping out) but it didn't work. Once they come apart, might as well consider it a handheld flashlight.

The ones I purchased and gave as gifts are still in full use without any damage. Perhaps you could contact the manufacturer through the internet for a helpful answer? I hope you will; perhaps you can help others if you find out....

The legs screw in with a nut and bolt. The screw itself is not angled like the leg, so I imagine the legs are definitely replaceable if you can find a similar bolt.

Turn it upside down seat part on the ground. Pull up on the legs, snaps out . Mine came unassembled so it comes out easily, yours maybe not so easily. Popping back in is a little harder, if I don't get it snapped in good, my legs come out moving it .

Also dnt use super glue as improper application will leave the plastic brittle and more likely to break. Howeverr there are non moving parts that u could use a very very small amount to secure with no structural damage. Be careful off high falls and every model is diff. I.e my scyhtes left leg is a lil tempermental. But its a moving joint i cant glue. So ya....good luck man ur gonna love the master grade models.

Mine broke right after assembly, too. I have one just like this that I bought 15 years ago that is still working great, without problems. I had hoped in buying this that it would be just as well made as they used to be. I wish I had a recommendation for a better one, but I caution not to buy this one. It's useless to me. I'm not returning it because I want the adjustable legs, but I will have to buy actual wood and make a tabletop for them to be securely attached.

Good size. On one corner screw holes 1/2 cm below the place they should be. Could not fix them perfectly. Hope leg doesn't fall out. I need another one and am in 2 minds...

Never tried to do that but I think not as the foot bar links those side bars together and I don't think the foot pad separates from the bar. Liked this chair when I had my hip replacement but one hole didn't match up exactly and had to get help from the handyman in apt building. He had a tough time too.

All of my figures shoulder joints were like that and all I did was lubricate the joints with some baby oil or mineral oil and take a metal finger nail file and try to loosen the joints up a bit. It worked fine but be careful not to break the arm off.

Michael, your legs would definitely hang over ! You might want to get an extension for the leg rest, do not know if this is an option.

Attaching the plastic feet was a little difficult. I screwed the legs in a little and backed off; repeated this regimen until they were fully in place.Here's a few suggestions:Try heating the legs a little with a hair dryer. The plastic will become more pliable and should go on a lot easier.For the legs that have been stripped, use Loctite Plastic Repair Putty. Put a little on the screw and then put the leg on. Let it dry overnight (this stuff works well with metal to plastic).Hope this helps.

Sorry for the delay; I had a death in the family. Yes, I pulled one apart and found that the cap at the bottom tip can be removed so you can cut it down from there. The extension can be pulled out completely for easier cutting. There is a three-sided punch-out about an inch up from the bottom of the top portion from going too far down the leg. This can be engineered into the new size leg by adding a small screw as a stop. Hope this helps.

What u do is after u remove the black rubber lining ( U just peel it off) the 2 plastic red pieces pop apart. it may take a small amount of force (very little). The 2 pieces snap together in certain places. I hope that this will help u!

Wow, the snaps on mine are tight but I haven't experienced this. I would try gripping the mesh in between the 2 snaps but close to one of them and pulling apart from there, or carefully pry between the two halves of the snap itself with a screwdriver. Good Luck and I hope that helps!!!

Nothing should come off or break off? are you talking about the leg clamps that allow the legs to open and close up?

This happened to mine. All you need to do is remove the fastener that holds the two pieces together and separate, clean in soapy water and reassemble, just don't tighten it as much as the factory did.

I do not see a way to tighten the leg joints. You can tighten the top joint with the screw system. What I have found is that the farther apart the legs are the less weight it will support. Mine holds a DSLR with the legs at similar angle to the picture. Your phone should be easy to hold assuming the weight is evenly dispersed and the legs at a reasonable angle. If not, maybe there is too much play in the joints. I could see the joints getting loose with a lot of use, but 3 weeks... that seams quick.

I don't think it's meant to come all the way back apart. There are the buttons on the long rails that you can push in to reduce the length though. That said the gait part of ours tends to twist out of it's slots fairly easily when we're taking it off the bed.
