Thanks you for making this video. Most helpful vid so far. I was having same issues but was able to fix my loose rings after watching your video. Much appreciated.
Sorry, at least the Audio is decent, right? I'll try and add a 2nd video at some point with a stationary camera with better picture quality using an actually messed up binder that I'm actually in the process of fixing.
I love tutorial videos like this! Don't listen to naysayers, Nick. If you want to make videos, make them. I subscribed to your channel. Hope to find more helpful videos in the future.
@@arungumarawell7170 Why do you say it's only temporary? Perhaps the spring in your five star binder is defective. Though probably not. 5 star is a name brand made by Mead right? Or at least it used to be I think. Is this like a mini binder? How many rings does it have? This method may not be effective in all circumstances.
I found that taking a hammer to the area right on top of the the gap causes the ends of the rings too meet. Works like a charm! Takes a ferw poundings.
I just came across this video again today after many years and I must apologize at the horrible video quality. But truth be told the method I used did work and it's actually not quite as complicated as maybe I might have originally tried to explain it. I think my written description below the video in the details about the video are probably going to be much more helpful then anything I was really able to show much in the video. It's like I wasn't even getting the camera pointed directly at the rings when I was pointing at them most of the time and I'm sorry about that. But if you listen to the audio and then read the text detail descriptions you might just figure out what I was doing. It worked. It does work.
Hey not yet but thanks for reminding me. I have OCD so I leave extremely detailed reviews but my camera on that phone I made this one with was really bad I must admit. I don't have that phone anymore.
I meant to say that alligator pliers (wide mouth adjustable to about 5 sizes) could be used also because they open extra wide in order to clamp the rings when open possibly? At the time I made this video I think I was unable to find mine.
I will try to put up a better video again some other time. Basic method involves pulling either side of the ring slightly apart, then pushing each part sideways with significant force until they are purposefully misaligned, and then pushing the two sides back inward while intentionally misaligned past each other until they overlap far past the position they are normally intended to go (using pliers). They you pull them back toward the position they are supposed to be in paying attention so as not to stretch them past where they were or worse than they were originally. I suggest opening all 3 rings when you pull them back manually with your hands and then closing them carefully (don't allow them to snap shut during this process). Then you can see how much you have bent them past their original position. When you have the two sides of the rings pulled back apart from their extreme overlap position from the step using the pliers so that the two sides of the ring are closer to where they should be normally you need to check when they are closed that the overlap is probably about 1/8 - 1/4 inch roughly past center for each side of the ring (1/2 inch max total combined overlap). Next open all three rings and carefully bend the two sides of the ring your working on back into alignment where they will then be able to realign and connect directly on both the horizontal and vertical axis. This actually involves at this point (with all 3 rings open) to push the two separated sides of the ring you're working on in the opposite direction of intentional misalignment (if that makes sense) in order to realign the two sides back to center so that they will meet again (plumb, flush, square and centered) where they are supposed to be. You see now why it was hard to go into this much depth in the video. This secondary misalignment is not intended to be used to force the rings past each other using pliers like in the first part. It's only intended to be used to realign the two sides of the ring so that they meet properly the way that they are supposed to with the restored tension in the spring. So you only want to bend the two rings sideways in the opposite directions (while all three are open) just enough to get them realigned back to center so that they meet properly when they come back together when you close the rings. Make sense? Once you accomplish that you should have fixed one ring. However some finishing sanding of the ring where you used the pliers to grip it may be in order to smooth off any burrs caused by gripping metal on metal in order to complete a clean job. Proceed as described above on all three rings until they all have tension restored. You could try and use plyers for more than one of the steps mentioned. This is only a guide. Modify these instructions as you see fit. I am no "expert" and never claimed to be. I did each ring separately for this binder but theoretically you could work on all three at the same time using the main plier clamping technique. However it's possible that having the other two rings closed and connected (only working on one at time) may be necessary in order for this to work successfully in order to brace the internal mechanism. Lastly, some fine tuning at the send once you have all three rings re-tightened and realigned I think was something I did and would be in order. The finishing fine tuning involves making sure that all three rings have the same amount of space between them when stretched apart. So the last step is accomplished by opening all 3 rings and looking at the distance between each carefully to see that all three have roughly the same amount of space apart when open. You could theoretically use a ruler to measure the space apart between them if you want to be precise about it, but I don't think that's necessary. This fine tuning in order to correct and align all three rings can be done by holding two of the three rings open with one hand while applying pressure to any ring that is farther apart or closer together than the other two. Make sense? Use manual force in order to push together or pull apart the haves of the ring that needs adjustment to match the distance apart of the other two. Again considerable force may need to be applied. I wouldn't recommend a child be tasked with doing this . This worked for me and I'm no genius so it can work for you too. A little tinkering, trial and error may be in order. If your binder is old and has been damaged by being crushed, stepped on, or kicked around this technique may not work for you. In some cases a binder is probably better off replaced if it's messed up real bad. If the rings have been crushed or twisted it would take a lot of extra work with pliers to bend them back into their normal position. Theoretically it could be done but would take a lot of extra effort and patience. If the internal mechanism is damaged it may also be a lost cause. But in the case of the binder I fixed in this video, I would consider what I did a rather minor repair overall considering how bad I'm guessing that some of you folks binders might get. Anyways good luck and sorry for the poor resolution and focus of my video.
Start watching at 6:08. It's really frustrating to watch. I thought he's finally going to show how after every few sentences... wasting a lot of time and patience.
No just a low end "rugged" sprint "smartphone" of the Kyocera variety. A total POS if you ask me but it got me by for awhile until I actually switched to a flip phone. I despise android phones.

Filmed on a Sprint Kyocera so called "rugged" phone actually. It's quite the P.O.S. actually. I don't use it anymore except to take pictures and the occasional shoddy video. I only got it because it was supposed to be waterp"proof" down to 5 ft. as well as having a loud speaker. As you can tell the audio in the video is pretty decent.

*Proceeds to make bad quality video*
Sorry, at least the Audio is decent, right? I'll try and add a 2nd video at some point with a stationary camera with better picture quality using an actually messed up binder that I'm actually in the process of fixing.
Nick Michaels Just use your phone camera
I love tutorial videos like this! Don't listen to naysayers, Nick. If you want to make videos, make them. I subscribed to your channel. Hope to find more helpful videos in the future.
Thanks for this video! I saw that wood video too and it seemed pointless. This the first one that really helped me fix the rings in my planner!
Worked perfectly for my 10 yr old son who fixed his binders. Thanks a lot
I came here to see how to fix the three ring bi set issue but ended up reading all the comments. I’m LMAO
Damn that 1080p quality is amazing.
Will try better next time. I'm was using a sprint kyocera "smart" (actually dumb) phone. I probably had the camera settings wrong.
@@n.michaels4494it’s fine man you helped me out
Ur the god of binders thank u a ton
You betcha!
Do u have another way to fix the rings because I have a 5 star 2 inch binder and the fix is only temporarily.
@@arungumarawell7170 What do think was the cause of the damage? That could play a factor on whether this kind of fix I devised will work or not.

Or at least it used to be I think. Is this like a mini binder? How many rings does it have? This method may not be effective in all circumstances.
The binder had 3 rings made by five star so yes essentially mead and the cause of damage was when I had dropped it
I’ve found that whittling a piece of Wood shaped rounded over with a dead blow hammer works pretty well.
best quality hands down
I found that taking a hammer to the area right on top of the the gap causes the ends of the rings too meet. Works like a charm! Takes a ferw poundings.

I’d like to watch a review of your mr hankey toys. Did you post a video for that on another site? Thanks
Hey not yet but thanks for reminding me. I have OCD so I leave extremely detailed reviews but my camera on that phone I made this one with was really bad I must admit. I don't have that phone anymore.
Thank you!!!!! Omg! Thought my planner was done for! This saved it! Thanks !!!!
Hello
My ring just don't close it become loose after snapping it off it has gap

I just smacked mine with a hammer till it was perfect
I agree. The pounding actually causes the ends of the rings to meet. Works like a charm!
