I like to work on my vehicles. RU-vid is a great source for DIYers. I made this video because at the time, there were no videos that addressed the problem I was having. If that happens again, I will film the repair and upload it. Until that time, I am working on creating content on my new channel, Brian The Beer Snob. Please check it out if you have the time. Thank you so much!
THANK YOU!! You saved my 32 year old bracelet. I have been trying to get a kink out for hours! I appreciate you for taking the time to post this helpful advice!!! 🎉
Well it took me about 45 minutes of wiggling and smoothing but it worked! I have a small bracelet, I wonder if it would have unkinked faster if it was heavier… regardless, thank you so much for posting and thank you to everybody who posted their success, it definitely motivated me to try it!!
@@BParsons the crazy part was that it was kinked up at both ends. I was shaking and wiggling one end looking at the knot closest to my fingers and thinking “nothing is happening!” Then I looked at the knot at the other end and it was working itself out! I just kept switching ends and it worked. So simple, and it didn’t involve any jewelry tools. I can’t thank you enough, it was my only gold bracelet that I owned and I needed to wear it the next day
Holy crap man! You were the third video that I checked on repairing herringbone kinks and I had advice from Jewelers telling me there's no way to fix one but then when I got to your video I was like okay I'm going to try this I want you know and it took seconds and it was fixed!!! So I just wanted to say thank you so freaking much for making this video this was a great time I'm very happy 😜✌️
Great video but you shouldn't put pendants on herringbones I'm a jeweler and always tell people to avoid it herringbone chains are very easy to ruin or destroy
@@BParsons then you've been extremely lucky they are notoriously easy to break chains and I've 100% never heard of one surviving for 30 years with a pendant as a daily wear chain so I will admit I'm doubtful of that but I'm sure stranger things have happened
Hi B Parsons! After unkinking this way, is there a slight dent (even if barely noticeable) in the 'flow' or shine of the chain where the kink was or is it perfectly smooth all the way? PS. I don't YET own a herringbone, I'm still undecided about whether to risk it, but your method gives me hope!
I have had my herringbone chain for over 30 years. I have kinked it many times, sometimes quite severely. This method has always worked to unkink it. Sometime a link will have a slight dent or bow, but that is easily fixed by laying the chain in a hard, flat surface and lightly tapping on it.
Wow. You're amazing. I've been stressing over this for a very long time. I've looked on RU-vid before and couldn't find anything. I looked one last time before I was going to take it to a jeweler. Amazing!
Nice of you, but its still a lumpy mess. You can lay it on a gard surface and gently roll a round dowl-like item, cylinder, spice bottle (parallel sides), that should help make it look better at least 👍
I recently started driving my late dad's 2003 Explorer with 134k miles and yesterday it would not shift out of park. After reading online information, I knew it was related to the brake switch system. As it turned out, however, two brake lights (right side and center high mount) were burned out, and this apparently caused a problem. After I replaced the bulbs, shifting returned to normal. Now I know why my dad kept spare brake light bulbs in the vehicle, he must have experienced this before. Also, the owner manual says if the brake lamps are not operating properly, it can trigger this lockup.
I can't thank you enough! I had tried everything and nothing would untangle my necklace. After I watched your video I kept shaking it and almost gave up. I decided to reverse the way I was hanging it and after a couple of times of shaking it from each end all of a sudden the links fell into place! It makes so much sense that the links will fall into place like they eventually did! Again THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
@@BParsonsBased only on Gail’s comment, would you consider adding a comment about which end you should hold up and which end should dangle - I was looking for info on un-kinking a simple silver snake chain and happened upon yours. I’m assuming the correct end of a herringbone chain would be the end where the points of the chevron links pointed UP, but I don’t really know. Thanks for doing a good deed for other peeps! ❤
Dude you just saved me over 8000 dollars. I have a fat 11mm herringbone that got kinked and I took it to the Jeweler and he pretty much told me im SOL. Been in the drawer for over a week and I just came across this video. Worked a f***ing charm. Seriously from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
@@TatsByTaco nice, I was only asking because I was looking at a 14k 12mm 24 inch one at the pawn shop. It's 56 grams and was trying to figure out if it is worth it or not. Keep shinging!
@N.E. MPLS I wouldn't pay more than $2400 for that piece boss! It's a good question though, and I wish I didn't get mine so heavy bc of the comfortness
