This is amazing!!!! My zipper broke on my mummy sleeping bag, and this small fix saved me from spending almost $100 on other one!!! Fabulous!!!!
So glad it helped!
I am having trouble my zipper does not have a zipper box at the end what to do
Thank you so much! I have a canvas gazebo out side and one of the zippers broke. This worked so well! Appreciate it!
So glad it helped!
Only fix zipper that worked on my 511 backpack . Being this backpack is expensive I didn't want to buy another. Thanks now I am waterproof again.
I bought one for $12.50 for my tent and it didn't work, but my girlfriend tried it and it worked for her easily. I have skills in electronics troubleshooting and repair, but my skills didn't allow me to use this zipper fix. After it worked for my girlfriend, I have to say it works great and I recommend it.
Good story
Great information and video! Do you deliver to UK? I need new zippers for my snugpak lonosphere bivi tent and just wondering if you deliver and which zippers would work with tent?
Thanks for the video?
This worked so well to fix my beloved canvas backpack. This product is keeping useful items out of the landfill!✌️One question: What do I do with the little black box that the came with the zip? I used the medium black nickel fixnzip. Also, thanks for the helpful video.
Sorry for the confusion. Each kit comes with 2 optional pulls: a key ring and a cord/plastic clip pull. To attach that pull, you can feed the string through the slot on the FixnZip. Then take the two ends of the cord and fit it through the hinge of the plastic clip and snap it shut. If it helps, you can tie the string together inside the clip to help it catch (like one timeover, not a full knot. Just to make it slightly thicker and catch the serrated edges in the hinge). I hope that helps, but please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.
What happened if some of the teeth are missing. Need to repair a cover in the golf cart. I purchased your a package of 3
This was super helpful, ty!! 💙💫
You're welcome!
This thing is awesome!! I just fixed the zipper on my granddaughters winter coat! The ring didn't come with mine tho
So glad it worked for you!
I have one tooth that is bent and my zipper cant zipp over it. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I bought a small one to repair purse zipper. Small spring came out when I opened slider, can’t get it to line back up properly, spring won’t fit back in tiny hole. Not working, very frustrating. $19.00 and Joanne Fabrics. I will be returning this nofixnzip
It worked! Thank you!
It worked! Had a little trouble getting teeth to engage, but the video trick did the trick.
Hi I’m using a nylon zipper i replaced the slider with a reg one and the zipper keeps tightening up in the jacket it regularly flat what wrong
Would this work on jeans???
I just got this and it is frustrating depending what you use to zip
What product?
That is a great product. I'm sold.
I haw a problem with the Zipper teet in my Jacket falling off. Can you show how re attache to the Jacket.
Unfortunately we don't have any tips for re-attaching zipper teeth.
The zip would not tighten for me. Kept popping loose.
Do you leave the fixnzip part on the zipper? We still have the zipper pull, but teeth are not linning up?
The fixnzip stays on the zippers as the new zipper slider, replacing the old.
Do I remove the original zipper pull ?
How do you lock the zipper just unzips on it's own #wersuit
How do I order these things
How do you get the old zipper pull off?
Vicki Newman plasma cutter
@@CurrySoSpicy What's that? I, too, have this problem: there's not really a "zipper box," only the stuck zipper at the starting point, and so the two sides aren't closing together when I slide the new zipper up. (Another one I put in worked great, though.)
Alison Maynard lmao, it was a joke. A plasma cutter is a machine used to cut metal.
I bought it for a bag I have but how do I get the original zip pull to work. I don't want to keep the fixnzip as a pull zip?
Hi, I'm sorry for any confusion but the FixnZip is a replacement zipper slider. It's intended purpose is to become a full time zipper slider and replace the old one that no longer works.
I bought one thinking the same. It should be called "replacement zipper" not fixnzip because it doesn't actually fix the existing zip.
@@fearlessfishman you’re an idiot. Read literally any description of the item before you buy next yime
Where do I go to order one

Clever advertisement.
I can not get the fix z zippet to work the teeth keep coming apart. HELP
😂😂😂 come here, ill help you, but you help my pocket in exchange. U r funny!
Bought the small size to repair an awning bag. Would not work. Sent it back and asked for the middle size. The company was very good about sending me the next size. I could get it on, but it would not close the zipper. The videos did not help. Not a fix for me.
A zipper with screw 😯 first time I've seen it
Unfortunately there are three other items in the package along with the zipper head and there is no explanation for the use of these in the enclosed instructions or on any of the videos. The only word I can think of for this oversight is - "ridiculous".
Hi George,
Thanks for the feedback on the lack of instructions for attaching the pull to the FixNZip. We'll look at adding some info on our website until we do another run of packages.
@ They're optional zipper pull attachments. One is a key ring, for heavier duty zippers. The other is a cord/plastic clip that can be used as a pull. We have images on our online store.
how do you determine which size to use?
Hi, we have a measuring guide on our website to help determine the size. You can also contact us through the fixnzip website and we'd be more than happy to help you figure out which size you need.
Thanks for this tutorial. I almost threw the fixnzip away because it wouldn't close the zipper.
Glad it helped!
My first try and I got it😂😂😂😂
Very nice! But don't bite your nails.
I just bought 4 of these for 44 UK pounds & they're terrible!!! Before I even bought them I thought the jump from an 8mm to 10mm zip using the same fixnzip was a bit too big. Guess what? I think I'm right. Wanted to use them on a 10mm coil zip but all it's done is damaged teeth & then to add insult to injury, it wont go past the teeth it's just damaged. It actually closes fine but it wont go back, no matter if I loosen or tighten. On an 8mm zip it would probably work, or a 10mm straight zip on a flat table as shown in the adverts but in the real world this has just messed up a £120 pound crossbow bag. Just had another look at what's going on & it seems to shut the zip off center so when you try to open the it, the centre, pointed part of the post is pushing against one side of the zip & not the middle. Should have designed an 8mm version and a 10mm, considering the ridiculous amount these cost they still went the cheap option of making one size fit 2
Replying to my own comment here but only to say that no one should be put off by my experience. In most cases they probably work but at the price they sell these, they should work in ALL cases. If they hadn't been greedy & cheaped out by making only 3 sizes to keep initial manufacturing costs down, they probably would work in all circumstances. Just make sure you order from somewhere with a return policy & don't let them fob you off with the usual, "you're doing it wrong". I build my own machinery, my zip measured 9.98mm on average measured with a Moore & Wright digital caliper, I was not doing it wrong.
Hi Archie,
I'm sorry they didn't work on your bag. If you want to reach out to us we'd be happy to have you return them for a refund. Also this is the first we've heard of the product damaging the zipper teeth, so that's concerning. Anyway, there's a couple of ways you can contact us here: www.fixnzip.com/contact/
Already returned and refunded. It's a shame because if enough different sizes were made these would be the best out there as the thumb screw makes for a positive closure. The problem is to make these work round a corner means you have to tighten it quite hard and at that point, it pushes the 10mm zip shut to 8mm and off centre. This is because of how the fixnzip jumps the 2mm in zip size. The sloping shoulders that allow this jump are fine on a flat zip but not round corners as stated above, and having to be tightened down. The damaged teeth were purely the shutting down to 8mm and the central pillar not pushing against the center of the zip but against the off centre teeth. My advice, make different size fixnzips, sloping shoulders are great on CAD but not in the real world if you want to price something this high.
Bought this to fix a small zipper on a jumpsuit... doesn't work. It took almost an act of God to get the teeth in the zipper, since it is spring loaded and very small, but I was able to do it. The zipper is open ended and comes apart after zipping it just a quarter of an inch. So, I used the Fixnzip and it didn't work. I then put it in the middle of the zipper, like you did, and it did work, but when I zipped it to the bottom, it all came apart again. I also squeezed the back, to the point that I used a pair of plyers to squeeze even tighter. The zipper would come together, but almost instantly it would unzip from behind it, at the bottom, again. So... yeah, this product doesn't work for small zippers. Maybe those giant ones you have in the video will do it, but not on what I need
Hi Patrick,
I responded to your email but wanted to respond here as well. We're sorry that it didn't work for your zipper. We offer returns if a customer isn't happy with the product for any reason, and we'd be happy for you to send it back for a refund.
@@FixnZip I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong. It is a small zipper, but it is one of those where after you zip it up a few inches, the "rear" part starts separating and come undone
You may just be having an issue with the teeth in general, may have to replace the zipper entirely if possibly.
@@ShauniieB Yeah, I had to replace the zipper entirely
Bought this to fix the zipper on my work coat. Didn't work. In fact it only damaged the zipper more. Really disappointed.
Please beware these do not work on couches the teeth not catch
Hi Alex, I'm sorry the fixnzip isn't working on your couch cushion. We regularly have customers use them on cushion zippers. If you want to reach out to us on our website, we'd be happy to help troubleshoot the installation, and of course, we always let customers return them for a full refund if they're not happy with it.

O
after 30 minutes... of wrestling my motorcycle jacket hoping this would work.. i threw this piece of shit as far into the damn woods as i could chunk it!
Dont buy if... doesnt work!!!
Works for me! You prolly did it wrong.
Better if you showed it with a pair of pants with the zipper swen in to the pants it’s easy with a zipper not installed nearly impossible with a zipper swen into the pants not easy at all so you have any videos showing that
