I'm going to convert my computer chair from pneumatic to static. I'm currently using plastic clasps that are held on with jubilee clips, but they're not great and need replaced (I'm a heavy lad). A sturdy metal version would be better.

I'm assuming the plumbing world would have something like this, but the language of the plumber is arcane and inaccessible to regular goombas like me. What do I type into the search box?

Cheers!

This sounds like it would accomplish what you need. Look up two piece shaft collar, or shaft coupler.

Use McMaster to find what you need. You should be able to find a cheaper supplier using McMaster's terminology.
