Yah, this may be silly, :) but I could not find any info on Google anywhere. Any search with the words "stuck and "nails" just turns up results about glue or about nails for your fingers.

I just got a package of nails delivered, and they arrived literally stuck together, and the best I can do is snap them down to 2 or 3 or 4 tied together. So I cannot separate them individually. Is their a trick? Did I buy the wrong nails? Is this how they always come?

Thank you. :)

The manufacturer says you can start tiling 4 hours after the last coat but many people online say they would wait 24 hours. I am inclined to listen to the manufacturer but would like some input on this. Thanks!

These are images of what looks like the locking mechanism,https://imgur.com/a/gO66KKXIn those pictures, the handle is in the "up"-Unlock, position.in this position it moves back freely, and when theres no pressure itsprings back to the upright position.if you push the lever down, it locks the backrest in whatever position you had it at.

i looked at it before it stopped working, and i cant tell the difference.basically it looks the same then, as it does now.even when it was working, the mechanism looks the same locked or unlocked.the black metal bolt at the end of that thing cant be tightened or loosend i think,its smooth, has no grooves.

This is the exact chair i have, if it helps.https://themarket.com/nz/p/workspace-ergo-tech-chair-black/3-W2590527

I can't afford a new chair, and im not a DIY guy, i don't even have a drill.I want to try and fix this locking mechanism if i can because my back needs it,but i don't even know where to start.

What it feels like now:When i push the lever down, and lean back, it feels like theres pressure stopping the tilt,but it quickly gives way with a snap or a click.imagine putting the smallest tip of your finger on the edge of a table, and push down.there will be pressure stopping your finger for a while, but it quickly slips. thats what it feels like.

if anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be really appreciated.
