this.

bought a ratchet belt from a large box store. comfortable. but it needs 2 tiny screws what will eventually fall off making it garbage.

so whenever that happens, I go to that store with a precision screwdriver in my pocket, and take a screw from a new belt. given that it's too late to get it exchanged.

did that a couple of times until I realised a drop of cyanoacrylate will stop them from falling off.

ain't going to buy the whole product because they didn't test their products and left it to me to fix them

It’s like that with sooooo much stuff these days! Quality assurance became a thing of the past as of the late first decade in 2000. They just don’t care. Make shit to die in a week or a month but again. Rinse repeat. If you have the skills to make parts with a 3D printer that’s an awesome solution.

There is a brand of glue called Loctite that sells popular thread locking glues for this exact purpose and works very well. They make different strength adhesives for different applications, all their thread-locking glues start with code '2'. The common ones for general use around the home for use with small screws / nuts & bolts and removal with hand tools is 222 / 242 / 243 (higher number, larger screw/bolt gauge width).

Just adding this info for anyone else looking for a similar solution.

yhea, that's the exact glue i mentioned.

just didn't want to use any brand name.
