FixNZip Large Black Nickel Zipper Repair Kit | Universal No-Sew Slider Replacement for Heavy Jackets, Wetsuits, Boat Covers, and Luggage | Instant and Reusable Zipper Repair Tool | Sizes 8-10

This worked great to repair an expensive coat. It seemed a bit pricey at first, but the ease of installation and quality craftmanship is worth the cost and it is far less expensive than a zipper replacement at a tailor.

IT'S A FANTASIC FIX AND WORKS BEAUTIFULLY AND IT LITERALLY ONLY TAKES 5 MINUTES TO FIX. HOWEVER, I WAS READY TO SEND IT BACK FOR NOT WORKING UNTIL I DECIDED TO STUDY THE VIDEO AND I STOPPED IT TO SEE WHICH PART OF THE ZIPPER ZIPS FIRST. EUREKA, IT'S THE SMALLER PART ON FIXNZIP AND IT'S THE BIGGER PART ON REGULAR ZIPPERS WHICH IS NOT EXPLAINED ANY WHERE IN THE INSTRUCTIONS OR ON THE VIDEO AND THIS NEEDS TO BE EXPLAINED AS IT'S COUNTER INTUITIVE FOR PEOPLE TO ZIP THE ZIPPER WITH THE SMALLER PART ZIPPING FIRST. FIX THIS AND YOU'LL NOT HAVE MANY RETURNS. "YOU'RE WELCOME"

My insulated vest zipper gave up the ghost after owning it for many years. I thought I was gonna end up throwing it away. Found this product and thought I'd give it a try. Found several cheaper brands but for the most part, they had terrible reviews. Received it today. It took longer to get the old one off than it did to get the new one on. Just a couple minutes total time and my zipper works perfectly. This thing is quite a bit larger than the original but that's the nature of the beast since it's adjustable to allow it to be installed. Had no problems with the directions. Great value for the money since it saved me buying a new vest! Seems to be good quality and hopefully it will last a long time.

I've surfed a few times now with this replacement zipper and it's working great! The old zipper had been having issues, and it eventually pulled right off when it was stuck and I was trying to unzip it. The FixnZip arrived quickly, and it took a little fiddling with to figure out how properly attach it, but I had it working in about 10 minutes. The action felt a little stiff and it worried me, so I ordered "Gear Aid Zipper Wax Lubricant Stick for Wetsuits and Drysuits" and rubbed that on the zipper teeth, and that seemed to make the zipper a bit smoother. So now the zipper works better than it had in awhile with the old zipper. Oh, and a tip to move the zipper pull cord to your new zipper. Cut the old plastic zipper pull to remove the pull cord/string and put it on the new zipper (see instructions that show how to open it). UPDATE 1: Turned out I only got a few sessions with the FixnZip until I had problems. I wore my wetsuit surfing yesterday and didn't realize until I was paddling out that the zipper was entirely open, even though I had no issues zipping it closed. So before I went surfing today, I re-attached the FixnZip, made sure it moved up and down smoothly when I wasn't wearing it (I added more zipper lubricant, and also found I had to loosen the screw a little bit, or it got stuck), but then when I put on the suit to surf and pulled up be the zipper, it was entirely open again after pulling it up. The wetsuit isn't very tight or anything, so I don't know what to think at this point. I don't know why it worked a few times and then stopped working. UPDATE 2: My rating has gone from 5 stars, to 3 to 4. I decided to try the FixnZip on my wetsuit again, but now I'm super careful when I zip up my suit, which is a little difficult with a back zipper, but I basically just go as slowly as I can. So I've had 3 successful surfs now that I'm very careful while zipping up my suit. I also sent FixnZip an email asking if they had suggestions related to my issue and it's been a week and they haven't responded.

Having already tried another zipper repair kit from Amazon that was a total disaster, I was reluctant to try another one. However, I really did not want to discard my costly, heavy duty. tactical packback just because a zipper for a side pocket had broke off. After a little more research on Amazon, I decided on the FixNZip even though it was pricey. But I figured that the higher price was becaue it's a metal zipper head instead of a plastic one. The fact that Amazon disclosed that it's a FREQUENTLY RETURNED ITEM did not inspire my confidence. However, detailed reading of many reviews gave me enough confidence to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed. The Fix-N-Aip zipper head is high quality and durable. The directions were easy to follow and straight-forward. My backpack side pocket zipper is the water-proof type. So and as per the directions, I needed to flip the zipper head upside-down before installing it. Apparently, I measured the zipper width correctly because the zipper sides slipped into the Zip-N-Fix zipper head and the zipper teeths engaged perfectly with little effort. I followed the direction to tighten the zipper head and seated the zipper head firmly at the bottom. It took two very short slides up and back to firmly seat the zipper sides inside the zipper head. Then and to my surprise, I was able to easily pull the zipper head all the way to the top of the pocket without any problems. I immediately repeated full open and close for a dozen times with no problems or failures!! The zipper did not split open when I pulled hard on the side of the pocket. Some of the reviewers noted that it doesn't last long. I hope mine will prove them wrong. If not, I will update my review accoudingly. Thank you Fix-N-Zip for extending the life of my tactical backpack!! I definitely recommed this product!

I've got a big vinyl duffel bag used for diving and caving gear. Salt water had made the sliders corrode and get stuck. Was sceptical that this replacement would be able to zip the teeth all the way to the start of the zip - but it does and works great. Hardest part was cutting off the old slider. This was a tiny bit fiddly to install - but once on, works perfectly. Saved having to spend the thick end of 100 quid to replace the bag. Only improvements I'd suggest - make a heavy duty version that has a bit more meat where the pull toggle attaches and in doing so supply a stronger split ring. Very pleased.

A pesar de pensar que no funcionaría y a la desesperada la compre . Pues a mi me funciono ( en concreto para una cocina portátil de camping ) . Estoy muy contento porque puedo abrir y cerrar la cocina .

Cumple con su propósito y está hecho de buena calidad, muy fácil de usar.

Este producto reparó la cremallera impermeable de una bolsa de golf, tal como se explica en el documento adjunto, publicado en los principales idiomas. Había probado otras soluciones, ¡y esta es la mejor!
