I cannot stress enough how incredibly simple and money saving this little fix is. You are a miracle working. Thank you and all the love from Raleigh, NC
This fixed it! My Bianchi Bianchissima cycle top is back on the road. Chapeau to you sir. You just saved me a hefty bill at the zip repair establishment, which said it was going to cost upwards of £30.00
Dude. I just wanna thank you. We are out here camping and my tent stopped zipping last night, i was able to get it shut after an hour of messing with it but this morning i came into town ready to buy a new freaking tent at a ridiculous price but decided to youtube my issue. Thanks to you, instead of spending 75 bucks on a new tent, all i needed to buy was a 7 dollar pair of needle nose pliers and now my tent is zipping like new. Youre a life saver man god bless 👌👌
Hyram: what a useful video. First cool evening in NYC and pulled out my leather jacket to walk the dog. The metal zipper was not holding. Drat! Thinking I had to bring this to a leather repair shop, I was about to google repair sources here in Manhattan. Instead, I took a chance and surfed over to RUclips. Your excellent video was the first to pop up. You saved me. Thank you so much. Could not believe how easy it was to get a good grip back on this zipper with my small bottle nose pliers. All Viewers: Hyram is right: don't over correct at the mouth. Gently clamp down, a little at a time until the teeth engage easily. Everyone Loves Zippers, thank you.
This is exactly what I needed! I haven't gone to the next level of my sewing because working with zippers seems scary. Keep posting useful videos. Thank you!
You rock!!! I have been trying to fix a zipper on one of my wife's bags for nearly an hour, looking at tutorial videos all over the web , and finally found this video on your company's web page. Where everyone else used similar verbiage yours is the only one that actually showed in the video exactly where pressure needed to be brought to bear to finally fix the problem. It only took 30 seconds after seeing your video to bring a smile to my wife's face when I returned her make-up bag to her in basically new condition. Thank you so very much for making me look good in her eyes !
I never thought this would work. You enabled me to fix my fairly expensive Vanson leather jacket. The sleeve zipper was only on 1 side of the zipper. Once i fixed that, the teeth would not engage. This was a 2 for 1 fix, and for that, I thank you very much. Your directions were easy to follow and you did not like to hear the sound of your voice. You said what needed to be said. Excellent Job.
This video is a life saver!!!!!! Now I don’t have to get rid of my favorite backpack! Every morning before school, I was almost late because I couldn’t zip my backpack, and I always left school ten minutes later for the same reason. I tried this, and it worked! If I could give this video a million likes, I would!!!!!
I know that this video is over 8 years old, but there's no time limit with manners! I'm giving you a huge virtual hug, to say thank you! I bought a bag online with three zipper compartments, and one zipper just wouldn't stay closed. After watching this video and tinkering around a bit I got the zipper closed. I'm too scared to open it again, but that's fine because I'll just use the other two compartments. Having just gotten a full refund for the busted bag, I'm feeling slightly guilty, but hey, that's what you get for not checking the quality of your stock before you post it off! 🛍😁
This video saved my kids’ Halloween. Broken zipper on a dinosaur costume two days before Halloween and I’m debating between duct-tape and RUclips. This one-minute fix worked! You’re awesome!
Wonderful video! Thanks to this video I fixed my zipper in 30 seconds. All it took was a light squeeze with a pair of needle nose pliers. Thanks so much!
Agree about the "no unnecessary rambling". Also no long intro video or jingle. I think many RUclips people don't understand that they aren't producing a television show. I can't like this enough.
Oh my word, this actually worked on my NEW faux leather cell phone purse that I used on my trip to the Holy Lands in July and the zipper broke while in Israel! I am a recent widow who had a husband who could fix things, but NOT me! Someone in the comments mentioned a needle nose pliers which I found in my husband's tool cabinet and it looked like Hiram's tool that he was using! Very carefully tried to clamp down on the side and then tried it on both sides of the zipper and it worked!!! I am so very, very thankful for you, Hiram! I thought I had to buy another purse, but you saved the day!! Blessings to you for helping widows like me who are trying to cope without their husband! You were truly God sent... may the LORD bless you real good!
AMAZING!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE BEEN THROWING JACKETS AWAY FOR YEARS WHEN THIS HAPPENS! IT TOOK ME 5 SECONDS TO FIX MY JACKET JUST NOW! THANKS!!!
Me too my favorite jacket from middle school now fix’s and works again thank you so much like really I finally got to put it on and I sware all the good times came back 😁
Oh my lord!!!!! You are amazing!! I thought I had to replace the entire zipper!! I now can wear my favorite skirt again!! And I'm proud of myself for fixing it!
You sir, are a hero. I bought a Jeep Wrangler soft door and both zippers would not work, so I got a good price. I thought I could fix them, but I wasn't sure how to. Your video saved me about $100, plus I can now sell my old set that is not correct for my vehicle, so you made me about $200+! Thanks!
Thank you!!! I have a lovely Laurel Burch bag that was a gift from a dear friend, so it's very loved, and when the zipper stopped closing, I thought I would have to stop using it. I just watched this video, and fixed my zipper. It now works perfectly. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you again!!!
Thanks Hiram. Really happy to be able to fix my failing zippers now. The first one I pressed the pliers to hard and it crumbled to pieces... Was on a worn out jacket anyway. After that I used the technique on a tent, a leather bag, a coat and a pair of jeans. Squeezing the pliers in a more gentle way really made the difference. So - just like Hiram warns us in the video - be careful in applying too much force! Better try out on something less valuable first.
omfg thank you soo much, I've been stuck with this problem for a few days now. I was forced to wear my coat without it being zipped up even on cold rainy days. I watched this video and fixed the zipper within 5 seconds just using my bare hands without any tools. Awesome thanks
This saved me a lot of paperwork and headaches. My service kitbag’s zipper broke after I had to open it and close it quickly during the 1 minute we got to get our bedsheets out, and later the zipper just fell off one side of the chain. I went home hoping my bag won’t spill in the street or bus, but I’m going back in less than 12 hours and decided to google some stuff. Not only did your other video help me get the slider back on the chain, but the chain no longer opens in the middle! It’s better than the day I got it and I can’t really switch the bag out, it’s standard issue so replacing it is a nightmare with the logistics guys. Mad thanks my guy!
This video is a life saver. I fixed my favorite bag in less then 5 mins instead of taking it to the cleaners to get a whole new zipper. Thank you. I Will remember this and use it in the future 🙏🏽
I would like to give a testimony here. This is such a simple, yet valuable video. I watched it a couple of times. Then I grabbed some needle-nosed pliers and fixed my purse zipper instantly! Then I fixed a friend's sweatshirt big-toothed zipper, which took a few more tries, but I was careful and gentle with it, and it works perfectly now also! All in all, it took me about 20 minutes for both items, and we are both so happy and thankful for this video! In addition, on a side note, please know that Jesus is everything. He truly is the way, the truth, and the life!!! God bless 🙏 you all 💞!!!
I have a reasonably expensive wallet that’s only 30 or so years old that just split its zipper. I'd cheerfully get the zipper replaced, but could find no one in town who would do the work. Thank you so much for this very easy repair!
Hallelujah it worked! Thank you so much. It took me over 6 months to finally find the multi-purpose pack that I have now and after a good 3 years the zipper stopped working and of course the pack is discontinued. I love this pack thank you so much!!!
You are a live saver. I saw so many videos on how to fix a broken zipper that were not even remotely helpful before I saw this one. Thank you, zipper factory man.
Yey. Deadly it worked. I used to throw out motorbike jackets when this used to happen with them. (Raging now as they weren't cheap) Thanks alot buddy for up loading this video, very helpful indeed. 😉
I just "tuned up" a zipper that was having "issues"...took your instructions and BAM...saved myself 80 Bucks, (not having to replace the item). Much Thanks.
I have this Harley Davidson leather jacket that is practically my second skin, i feel empty without it and you helped me fix its pocket zipper. I had initially already fixed the "slider only on one side" issue, but then this happened. After following this tutorial i managed to fix the pocket zipper completely, it opens and closes perfectly! Much appreciated, brother!
Thanks for this perfect fix! I bought a pillow for 1/2 price because of the broken zipper. I was going to sew it shut, but Google led me to this video and in seconds my pillow's zipper is repaired. I'm now a UCAN Zipper fan! thanks.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I had watched so many other videos with no solution. The slider came off one side and I watched videos of people cutting the zipper and sliding it back on. I was able to do that but the teeth wouldn't engage. I almost broke down and purchased an entirely new zipper and was going to sew it back on the tent bag. This saved me so much time and money. Thank you again!!!
ok so i bought a pencil case and i fixed the zipper thank you!! its the simplest but coolest pencil case that ive ever had & i dont wanna buy and change it lol
Thank you so much!!!! I just fixed the zipper on my bag for my tall riding boots! It's a long zipper and I didn't think it could be repaired. I hate paying for repairs that I can perform myself so I searched for DIY and found your video. Took me 2 seconds and saved a bunch of money. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you! Zipper stopped working on a Shelterlogic carport tent we bought after our place burned down in a wildfire 3 years ago. They now want more for a replacement cover than the entire tent cost 3 years ago. Found your video and fixed the zipper in 5 minutes. Good to go. Thank you again! Tip: If you have Channelock pliers you can adjust them so they will reach over the zipper and clamp down on the opposite side, so you don't have to unzip more on the "bad" side of the slider to fit in your pliers.
I just want to say THANK YOU!!! I have a leather jacket that I haven't worn in about 5 years because the zipper would not 'engage' and would just be split open. There were not any teeth missing, they just wouldn't engage. I tried this remedy and squeezed the mouth of the tab and voila, it now works without splitting open!!!! So excited to be able to wear this jacket again!
Never ever did I think I’d need let alone find ZIPPER fix videos but I’m so glad you did these! I watched three of your videos and fixed the zipper on my pants! THX!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you soooo very, very much!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊. Although I have repaired zippers and sliders before, I have not seen such a great breakdown of slider repair. It turns out I was applying pressure to the wrong side of the slider (i.e., the front opening side of the slider, rather than the back). After 8 weeks of one of my sliders not working on my favourite leather dress, daily backpack you have solved my problem. You are actually a " King of Sustainability issues"!!! I would have purchased a new backpack handbag because I couldn't get the dual zippers to work. Via this video, you have now personally prevented another bit of landfill of a perfectly new and functional product. Absolutely wonderful!!!! How many people waste money and increase landfill because they can't repair a broken zipper? I also love the fact, that you have provided your knowledge and expertise to assist the public and also reduce waste. I believe that the videos you are providing improve general public knowledge, improve sustainability and also reduce individual costs related to products with broken zips. You are working in a truly collaborative spirit!!! Kind regards, Catherine
You're litterally a life saver 😭😭 i thrifted a bag recently which was quite expensive, and i was really distraught when i realised the zipper wouldnt close, thank you for this!!!
Kassandra Reina you'll have to make sure that the teeth are lined up correctly, then crimp the slider body. Also check that the zipper teeth are going in the correct direction.
LIFE SAVER!! I had a special skirt for a concert and meet and greet on Sunday that zipper wasn’t closing it and I was heartbroken so I looked up how to fixed it and you helped!! Thank you!
Wow thanks. I work in the cold. Northeastern Ohio in January. Fighting with the zipper for a hour. Why it doesn't work. Crimped the key on the metal zipper of my fucked coat. And it zippered right up !!! That's a million now I can work warm! Thanks for posting this fix! Was the first video to come up on RUclips!👍👍👍
Zipper man, thankyou, we have a leather couch that needed extra foam added and I tried to zip one cushion back together after overstuffing and the zipper came loose on one complete side and I was able to use needle nose pluses and open the zipper slightly to fit the side back in it, then also used your technique to clamp it together a bit until it started zipping up properly again. You saved me hundreds of dollars and hours hinting someone down and driving there and back!!
Seriously, this video was perfect! I tried it on my work jacket (haven't been able to use the zipper forever) and it worked instantly, took me all of 5 seconds to clamp it down with my pliers and test it. What a life saver man!!
You’re a genius… I’ve been fighting with this stupid Kawasaki, soft top enclosure zipper for the better part of an hour now, and your video literally just fixed it, thank you so much
i've been using my bag for 7 years now and this video helps me to fix the zipper and finally i can use the 2 zippers in my bag without worrying. Thank you!
Dude, you don’t even know how you just saved me $200.00 + dollars on my shelterlogic tent. The zipper on one of my doors has been broken so couldn’t really open and close it. After about 2 years today I decided to mess with it and look up a video on how to fix broken zipper. Great video man you are awesome for that. Stay safe and much peace and blessings to you my brother.....
Thanks, my husband just bought a new backpack and the zipper on one of the bags developed this exact problem a few days later. We watched the video and followed these easy steps and the zipper works perfectly now. THANKS!
This WORKED! I was in big big trouble with my son as I failed to get a new zip for his best trousers as I had promised I would and he wants to wear them to a gig tomorrow. He is going to be soooo happy!
Sir, huge thank you from Manchester U.K. for this simple fix. I have a very comfortable but tough old leather jacket and the zip developed this problem. I watched your excellent video, ran to my shed, grabbed my pliers, and applied your fix to my jacket zip. Worked first time, as good as new, and my old jacket is keeping out the cold damp October Manchester weather again ! 👍
My new backpack is late getting here and the semester starts tomorrow. This fixed my bag right up so it can last me until the new one gets here! You are a saint! I wish I would have found this sooner!
Best video ever! Thank you so much. Eddie Bauer's customer service sucks and I ended up watching this. I loved my down jacket and now I can wear it again. It was bad from the get go and now it's perfect!
Just got a beautiful thrifted Calvin Klein winter coat and was devastated that the zipper wouldn't work, this worked like a charm thank you so much I owe you!
My son with autism was distressed that his beloved pouch that he carries doodads in no longer zipped. This video got the issue taken care of in about 5 seconds. Thank you!
I thought i was going to have to replace my whole bag because of the zipper not working properly but this completely fixed it! Last time i was out using it, it was a big stress from this exact problem. THANK YOU!!
You saved my life! I’m flying out in about 3 hours and have no time to go and get new luggage, this video helped me get my zipper functioning again 😮💨 thanks a million! ❤️
Holy- thank you! My zippers are as good as new! Usually when we have zipper like these, we are told to just throw it away or get a new one but this just saved me a lot of time and money.
I struggled for months trying to fix the zipper on my boots with random advice from people. 30 seconds after watching this video they are now fixed thanks to your advice. Thank you!!!
Wow your a genius! I bought a new purse that I love but the zipper doesn’t connect even though it’s brand new. I was about to return it but you’ve saved the purse for me, thank you so much!
Omg I was fully prepared to rip apart a pair of slacks to replace the zipper, praise be that it was as simple a fix as a couple squeezes from some pliers!! 😂🙌🏽
you are my saviour! I was fretting about getting a new bag to match my dress cos the zipper refuses to zip up and then you bestowed me with a solution! Thanks a million!
Thank You!!! It seems to have worked!!! I bought a heavy duty winter motorcycle outfit that's worth over $500USD for $50USD because the zipper was messed up. I had a new zipper put on for $8.00USD. The new zipper wouldn't stay zipped just like the one in your example. I was actually going to try the same thing, but was not sure about potentially messing something up and/or how to properly do it. I'm glad I watched because I would've just pressed down in the center and probably come from the top (above) instead of below as in your EXTREMELY helpful video!!! In about three hours, I'm going on a motorcycle ride to pick up a motorcycle I just bought and it's 27F outside...so I needed this! Thank You!
After I don't now how long trying to pull the zip backward over the part that the teeth hadnt bitten together, then reading all the other how-to-s that just go through lists of lube... I finally found this one - and the plier squeeze trick made all the difference! Thanks a million - it's made my day 🙂
It's 3:30 in the morning and I was worried I was gonna have to throw away or try and replace the zipper on my favorite coat and then this video appeared in an article I was reading and this sorcery worked like a charm. Coat is fixed. I was so worried 😭😭 Thank you.
Wow! What a help! I had a $12 gear bag that I bought at a store that's about an hour from my home. One side of the double zipper wasn't working. I knew I wouldn't take it back for $12. Did this little trip and it's perfect! Thank you!
This video is a sanity saver 😂i have a wedding today and the zipper broke on my dress. I was able to fix it thanks to this 😀😀😀😀
So happy to help on such an important day, either for you or a friend/family. All the best!
Janis Daugavietis what a asshole(:
Janis Daugavietis LMAOOOO
@@Bauernade that was pretty funny lol
Good thing that you fixed it! How’s the marriage going? You can’t leave us with this suspense!
fixed my backpack in 30 seconds, thank you a lot! you are one of those every day heroes that deserves a medal for sharing this
+Tom Hardeveld thanks man. Happy to help out where ever we can.
That's what I need to fix, a backpack with a cheap nylon zipper. Wish me luck!
I cannot stress enough how incredibly simple and money saving this little fix is. You are a miracle working. Thank you and all the love from Raleigh, NC
This fixed it! My Bianchi Bianchissima cycle top is back on the road.
Chapeau to you sir.
You just saved me a hefty bill at the zip repair establishment, which said it was going to cost upwards of £30.00
Dude. I just wanna thank you. We are out here camping and my tent stopped zipping last night, i was able to get it shut after an hour of messing with it but this morning i came into town ready to buy a new freaking tent at a ridiculous price but decided to youtube my issue. Thanks to you, instead of spending 75 bucks on a new tent, all i needed to buy was a 7 dollar pair of needle nose pliers and now my tent is zipping like new. Youre a life saver man god bless 👌👌

The video and audio quality for a zipper video in 2014 is insane. Thanks!

Thank you! Zipper stopped working on a Shelterlogic carport tent we bought after our place burned down in a wildfire 3 years ago. They now want more for a replacement cover than the entire tent cost 3 years ago. Found your video and fixed the zipper in 5 minutes. Good to go. Thank you again! Tip: If you have Channelock pliers you can adjust them so they will reach over the zipper and clamp down on the opposite side, so you don't have to unzip more on the "bad" side of the slider to fit in your pliers.
Just fixed my zipper in 2 seconds thanks to your video! Thank you very much!
+Hello3210 👍 👍 👍
Thanks, my Hollister Jacket is now back in service!
thanks bro i can now use my school bag since i cant afford a new one
Happy to help!
I just want to say THANK YOU!!! I have a leather jacket that I haven't worn in about 5 years because the zipper would not 'engage' and would just be split open. There were not any teeth missing, they just wouldn't engage. I tried this remedy and squeezed the mouth of the tab and voila, it now works without splitting open!!!! So excited to be able to wear this jacket again!
Never ever did I think I’d need let alone find ZIPPER fix videos but I’m so glad you did these! I watched three of your videos and fixed the zipper on my pants! THX!
i love u!!!u just helped me to fix my favorite jacket!!!!!!!!!!thanks you so much
Favorite bag fixed, thanks! :)
yes!! thank you!! was able to fix my gym bag :)
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you soooo very, very much!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊. Although I have repaired zippers and sliders before, I have not seen such a great breakdown of slider repair. It turns out I was applying pressure to the wrong side of the slider (i.e., the front opening side of the slider, rather than the back).
After 8 weeks of one of my sliders not working on my favourite leather dress, daily backpack you have solved my problem.
You are actually a " King of Sustainability issues"!!! I would have purchased a new backpack handbag because I couldn't get the dual zippers to work. Via this video, you have now personally prevented another bit of landfill of a perfectly new and functional product.
Absolutely wonderful!!!! How many people waste money and increase landfill because they can't repair a broken zipper?
I also love the fact, that you have provided your knowledge and expertise to assist the public and also reduce waste.
I believe that the videos you are providing improve general public knowledge, improve sustainability and also reduce individual costs related to products with broken zips.
You are working in a truly collaborative spirit!!!
Kind regards,
Catherine
You're litterally a life saver 😭😭 i thrifted a bag recently which was quite expensive, and i was really distraught when i realised the zipper wouldnt close, thank you for this!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! it really helped me! :) God bless!
You're welcome! 🙌
Kassandra Reina you'll have to make sure that the teeth are lined up correctly, then crimp the slider body. Also check that the zipper teeth are going in the correct direction.
+UCAN Zippers USA Is this the same with zippers on denim jeans?
+Vendetta fifthofnovember this is the same concept with denim jeans.
Aye man it doesn't work on my true religion jeans bruh
Maybe your jeans aren't true....True Religion doesn't have zipper problems...."bruh."
Nah the zipper broke but ig your mom didn't. Made you work when you were born you hater
You are a saint! Thank you so much!
Always happy to help. You're very welcome! 👍
9 years later and I come across this for a bag I need fixed. Thanks man!!
LIFE SAVER!! I had a special skirt for a concert and meet and greet on Sunday that zipper wasn’t closing it and I was heartbroken so I looked up how to fixed it and you helped!! Thank you!
Thanks i just fixed my zipper on a jacket i couldn't wear for one year because the zipper wasn't closing!
Thx maaan, I just fixed my favorite hoodie's zipper!
Awesome! Great work on the repair.
Wow thanks. I work in the cold. Northeastern Ohio in January. Fighting with the zipper for a hour. Why it doesn't work. Crimped the key on the metal zipper of my fucked coat. And it zippered right up !!! That's a million now I can work warm! Thanks for posting this fix! Was the first video to come up on RUclips!👍👍👍
Zipper man, thankyou, we have a leather couch that needed extra foam added and I tried to zip one cushion back together after overstuffing and the zipper came loose on one complete side and I was able to use needle nose pluses and open the zipper slightly to fit the side back in it, then also used your technique to clamp it together a bit until it started zipping up properly again. You saved me hundreds of dollars and hours hinting someone down and driving there and back!!
Seriously, this video was perfect! I tried it on my work jacket (haven't been able to use the zipper forever) and it worked instantly, took me all of 5 seconds to clamp it down with my pliers and test it. What a life saver man!!
Just fixed two bags in less than two minutes! Thanks. I signed in just to like your video because it's so great!
You’re a genius… I’ve been fighting with this stupid Kawasaki, soft top enclosure zipper for the better part of an hour now, and your video literally just fixed it, thank you so much
i've been using my bag for 7 years now and this video helps me to fix the zipper and finally i can use the 2 zippers in my bag without worrying. Thank you!
Dude, you don’t even know how you just saved me $200.00 + dollars on my shelterlogic tent. The zipper on one of my doors has been broken so couldn’t really open and close it. After about 2 years today I decided to mess with it and look up a video on how to fix broken zipper. Great video man you are awesome for that. Stay safe and much peace and blessings to you my brother.....
You're welcome! Glad that it was helpful
Thanks, my husband just bought a new backpack and the zipper on one of the bags developed this exact problem a few days later. We watched the video and followed these easy steps and the zipper works perfectly now. THANKS!
This WORKED! I was in big big trouble with my son as I failed to get a new zip for his best trousers as I had promised I would and he wants to wear them to a gig tomorrow. He is going to be soooo happy!
Sir, huge thank you from Manchester U.K. for this simple fix. I have a very comfortable but tough old leather jacket and the zip developed this problem. I watched your excellent video, ran to my shed, grabbed my pliers, and applied your fix to my jacket zip. Worked first time, as good as new, and my old jacket is keeping out the cold damp October Manchester weather again ! 👍
you were saving lives 8 yrs ago and you are saving lives today
My new backpack is late getting here and the semester starts tomorrow. This fixed my bag right up so it can last me until the new one gets here! You are a saint! I wish I would have found this sooner!
Best video ever! Thank you so much. Eddie Bauer's customer service sucks and I ended up watching this. I loved my down jacket and now I can wear it again. It was bad from the get go and now it's perfect!
Just got a beautiful thrifted Calvin Klein winter coat and was devastated that the zipper wouldn't work, this worked like a charm thank you so much I owe you!
My son with autism was distressed that his beloved pouch that he carries doodads in no longer zipped. This video got the issue taken care of in about 5 seconds. Thank you!
This method worked like a charm! Thanks!
I thought i was going to have to replace my whole bag because of the zipper not working properly but this completely fixed it! Last time i was out using it, it was a big stress from this exact problem. THANK YOU!!
I can't believe this actually worked. You deserve a million likes!
omg thank you SO MUCH. My daughter was falling apart over her knapsack's broken zipper! Fixed it within seconds thanks to your video!!
This video is such a lifesaver, i was getting frustrated with a zipper and i managed to fix it in seconds thank you!!!!
You saved my life! I’m flying out in about 3 hours and have no time to go and get new luggage, this video helped me get my zipper functioning again 😮💨 thanks a million! ❤️
Holy- thank you! My zippers are as good as new! Usually when we have zipper like these, we are told to just throw it away or get a new one but this just saved me a lot of time and money.
I struggled for months trying to fix the zipper on my boots with random advice from people. 30 seconds after watching this video they are now fixed thanks to your advice. Thank you!!!
Wow your a genius! I bought a new purse that I love but the zipper doesn’t connect even though it’s brand new. I was about to return it but you’ve saved the purse for me, thank you so much!
You saved my plants from a freeze. The zipper on the greenhouse wasn't knitting together. This fixed it. Thanks so much.
Omg I was fully prepared to rip apart a pair of slacks to replace the zipper, praise be that it was as simple a fix as a couple squeezes from some pliers!! 😂🙌🏽
you are my saviour! I was fretting about getting a new bag to match my dress cos the zipper refuses to zip up and then you bestowed me with a solution! Thanks a million!
This is a strong contender for most helpful video on RUclips! Thanks for saving my backpack
Thank you. I've been trying to zip up my coat for 10 minutes and your video helping me fix my zipper in 6 seconds. Many thanks man
Thank You!!! It seems to have worked!!! I bought a heavy duty winter motorcycle outfit that's worth over $500USD for $50USD because the zipper was messed up. I had a new zipper put on for $8.00USD. The new zipper wouldn't stay zipped just like the one in your example. I was actually going to try the same thing, but was not sure about potentially messing something up and/or how to properly do it. I'm glad I watched because I would've just pressed down in the center and probably come from the top (above) instead of below as in your EXTREMELY helpful video!!! In about three hours, I'm going on a motorcycle ride to pick up a motorcycle I just bought and it's 27F outside...so I needed this! Thank You!
After I don't now how long trying to pull the zip backward over the part that the teeth hadnt bitten together, then reading all the other how-to-s that just go through lists of lube... I finally found this one - and the plier squeeze trick made all the difference! Thanks a million - it's made my day 🙂
It's 3:30 in the morning and I was worried I was gonna have to throw away or try and replace the zipper on my favorite coat and then this video appeared in an article I was reading and this sorcery worked like a charm. Coat is fixed. I was so worried 😭😭 Thank you.
Wow! What a help! I had a $12 gear bag that I bought at a store that's about an hour from my home. One side of the double zipper wasn't working. I knew I wouldn't take it back for $12. Did this little trip and it's perfect! Thank you!
