It Cost Me 1 Yuan
I have this bamboo deck chair for more than 4 years, and the bamboo belt had been replaced the second time. It kept me in cool and comfortable while I leaned on it for afternoon nap in Summer. Actually, in the most time of year it was used. Further more,it is not taken up space when folded it.
But yesterday, one side of its joint had broken ,
as the bamboo belt is still new replace,I didn't want to give it up. Instead, so I tried to fix it by myself .
I took out dad 's tool box, picked up something I need; pliers, a piece of proper iron sheet( I found a copper one), handy drill, steel file, screw bolt, ( short one and long one),screw driver, monkey wrench( strange name, why using "monkey" here ?
). But I couldn't find a suitable long screw bolt. At last,I had to bought it from a hardware store. 
It only cost me 1 yuan for had the chair repaired ... and more important, now I can go on my daily nap on this chair again, just wish it can available for another 2 years.
Happy weekend to you all!

Yes, I like doing handwork job at home, and enjoy in its process as well. I am really happy the chair can work again.
Friendly greetings to you!
The call it a monkey wrench because monkeys use it for the wrong job. I cannot imagine you using it in the job you described. Maybe you were talking about a shifting spanner? It is more likely.
Monkey wrench
Shifting Spanner
Don't know.
Thank you so much for the information, now I know from the pics, I used the shifting spanner not the monkey wrench. The second one I used it for replace my faucet in kitchen before.
Err,the online translation nearly misled me ...
Good wishes to you and your family!
I don't know the exchange rate well,only know that we don't use "Cent" any more here.
Have a nice day!
