19 Pcs Fixing a Sinking Office Chair Cylinder Alternatives Gas Lift Tools Kits, Office Chair Saver for Stop Sinking, with Hose Clamps, Dual-Purpose Screwdriver

After reading other reviews I just quite jubious about this product. Im quite a heavy guy and thought that these would break in an instant, but bought them as the price was fair, they came with the screwdriver needed (so I didnt have to go and buy a seperate one) and as stated the reviews were mixed. So I gave them a shot... and im glad I did. They are brilliant! They hold my weight, and Ive had them for over a month and they're still holding strong. They are easy to install, took all of 5 mins. Dont get my wrong they are a bit ugly when they catch your eye from the next desk, so it would have been nice if the tightening strips were black or if they black shaft sleeves were chrome to match. But regardless they do they job intended, I would highly recommend.

Five minutes to fit, enough to do my job twice over and free screwdriver. Works ok, see how long it lasts.

I'm not gonna lie, the fittings themselves are pretty cheap, the kind of fittings you get from hardware shops for pennies. What you're paying for here is the solution, a very simple but effective solution. I've been using them for around a week now and my chair is still in place even though I'm on the heavier side. The only downside so far is that one of the hose clips is faulty and doesn't tighten, which isn't a major problem considering I only needed about half the amount provided in the pack. All in all I definitely recommend this product.

Simple & cost effective solution to a common problem. High quality components that took no more than 5 minutes to fit to my office chair. You lose the ability to adjust seat height, but once you have set it at the comfortable height why would you need to keep adjusting?

They work fine for about 5 months then the plastic starts to crumble under the pressure.

From believing I'd have to change the gas piston, watching a couple of Youtube videos and not relishing either the price or the work involved, to this. Took about 5 minutes, most of which was actually finding my hacksaw and cutting one of the three plastic tube bits to fit. It's only been a half hour or so, but it seems strong enough to take my 215 pounds okay and stopped the annoying dropping of seat level. That's another of life's little irritations out of way.

Does what it say on the tin... And better price than the plastic clip ones, I'm heavy and they hold my weight perfectly, with spares and a free screwdriver too, bar has.

This fixed the issue with my sinking chair. The only problem I have is that there is a limited size of bracket, my score for this would have been higher if they had included 3 or 4 sizes so that I could get the height exactly right. I have been able to cut one of the brackets to achieve this. Of course this means your chair is fixed to that height, but that's ok for me.
