Finally someone comes up with a REAL FIX and no paperclip hassle! THANKS MAN
Glad you liked it.
You saved my boots. Thank you for the tip. The close up made the difference.
Thanks for the feedback.
Exacly that.
My. wife had a pair of pants the would not stay up. I said let me check RUclips. In a couple of minutes I had her Zipper fixed and I'm her hero. Thank you for the video!
I bought a skirt for a job interview and was in a panic when the zipper wouldn't stay up. Thank you so much for this clear simple video!!
A miracle of modern science, great tips and wonderful close up action.
I hate it when the tab gets stuck in the down position as it nestles into a fabric "pocket"
+Craig Nehring Thanks. Yeah, me too. There needs to be a zip pull extractor. Maybe a large red "T" handle labeled "escape". OK, that's too much but...
Great photography and closeups. Impressive on how you did that and kept the camera fixed on the problem. Like a surgeon. Thanks for the great information.
I just did it right now.. and it worked!!! You just have to be patient adjusting and pressing until you get it right.
I’ve been suffering for almost half a year with my loose down zipper jeans, don’t even want to throw them away because it is one of my fave. Thank you so much to the one who made this video. You are so brilliant!!! Hoping for more amazing tips🌸
Finally a video showing how to fix the zipper and not telling me use a key chain. Thank you
Glad I could help!
Thank you so so much omg 😭 I've been searching for an hour on how to fix this but all results are the same, paper clips and stuff like NO! I want to know what exactly broke and how to fix it!! Now I finally know the mechanics of a zipper-- much appreciated man
Glad I could help!
Thank you 🙏 I used your video and just repaired the slider on my favourite Rab zip up 🤗 It’s a different zip to your jeans one. I applied your principles and used a pair of pliers to squeeze the sides of the zip slider together. 😊
Thanks for a straight forward video without personal stories inserted for entertainment and rambling! 👍🏽
You sir are a genius! Levi’s always fail me and start unzipping and that quick 30 seconds just repaired my contracting life!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!
I'm glad to be of service. You are welcome.
Thank you for some actual repair help👍 No longer will I worry about the possibility of the breeze of embarrassment.
I did this to my favorite pair of jeans and it worked so well! Now I don't have to use a key ring. You sir saved my only favorite pair of jeans ever! Thank you so much! 😁😊
Glad it helped!
Big thanks all the way from Germany. Didn´t know a zipper worked like that. Was able to fix like you´d instructed. Awesome. Love it!
Best video ever! An ACTUAL fix. Bravo Sir. Thank you sooo much!
worked like a charm! Your verbal explanation along with the excellent videography was all that I needed to get the zipper whipped back into function. :-)
Thank you!
Thank you, I knew there had to be an explanation for what was happening. Equipped with the knowledge you've imparted, I can fix pretty much any zipper now, thanks again.
This man deserves a thumbs up!
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ON THIS, all the other "hacks" is not resolving the issue, txs for this, I'm gonna give it a try, screw, putting varnish and keyrings and elastic on it, lets fix it right LOL txs man, great video and video work
Information on fixing this problem has been surprisingly difficult to find, thanks for the video
Worked for me, my zipper was different but using the same method it stays up now. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Wow! I just fixed my zipper right now! This is truly amazing! No more paper clips!!!
Thank you so much! I have Wrangler jeans I bought used and I love them but I keep the zipper up using a hair tie. I am so thankful for this tutorial!!
You are so welcome!
Thanks so much! I have that problem with a brand new pair of jeans. Fixed in 5 sec s!
My Superdry jacket zipper was somewhat different and didn't have any parts that moved on the outside, all was happening below the middle piece, and the two bits that we see here holding the middle piece were not there either and so I just squeezed each end of the brass middle piece a little and it was the same, squeezed both ends again only with a little more pressure and it was the same and then after the third squeeze it now works as new! Cheers for the video.
Thanks for this. Looks like my pair of work pants was already missing that piece you said to not break, at least I know the problem for next time.
Thank you soooo much lol after so many years of not wearing my jeans and shorts because of this exact zipper issue... I can finally wear them again!!
Thank you sir, you've just saved my favourite jeans. Great video.
My too
This was awesome! I'd buy you a beer if you were in driving distance. It works!!!!!!!!!! Don't have to throw 2 pairs of pants away.
Thank you for this - I was able to fix my son's jeans!
Paul
Now I can walk around in confidence again, Thanx Man!
Glad to hear it!
I had a corset dress, the back zip wouldnt stay up… i had bought a hook/loop to prevent it from opening. After watching this and using a nutcracker i was able to fix it!
Excellent practical solution to an annoying problem. Thank you!
I’ve been using a paper clip for like the whole school year now and I actually feel comfortable walking now because I know my fly won’t fall😂 (and I won’t have to use a paper clip 🤦🏼♂️)
This is most useful video I found! Saved my life!
Great to hear!
Thank you for your video I'm going to try it on my son's zippers every pair of pants has that problem they must be making cheap zippers today thank you very much
Thanks! Quick and easy! Thanks for the tip!
Hola. Te cuento que vi muchos videos intentando SABER EL MOTIVO que origina que el sierre de baje y como solucionarlo, pero no son mas que una lastimosa PERDIDA DE TIEMPO, ya que TODOSSS solo hablan de burdos "trucos" sin explicar un apice de la razon por la cual sucede este hecho... SALVO VOS EN TU VIDEO!!!... x lo cual te felicito por la excelencia de tu video y solo me queda decirte... MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!... Desde Argentina te dejo un abrazo
"Hello. I tell you that I watched many videos trying to KNOW THE REASON that causes the saw to go down and how to solve it, but they are nothing more than a pitiful WASTE OF TIME, since EVERYONE only talks about crude "tricks" without explaining the slightest reason why. which this fact happens... EXCEPT YOU IN YOUR VIDEO!!!... for which I congratulate you for the excellence of your video and I only have to tell you... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!... From Argentina I leave you a hug"
Hola. Hice un reportaje en la escuela primaria sobre Argentina (y los gauchos). ¡Desde entonces quise verlo! Parece un lugar hermoso. Tal vez algún día.
Very informative and detailed tutorial with excellent close up video. Thank you!
The best video that solves the problem. Thanks a lot.
AMAZIING, thank you! My zipper was different but the same concept held true. I needed to place something in that spot and hammer it but it worked!
I have some work pants that the zipper goes down by it self. I'm going to try this. Thank you
Thank you Sir now I'm gonna try to fix a jean that I have that the zipper keep coming down, so I would be trying this step, Thanks.

Very good camera work. Great closeups. What setup do you have for filming?
Thank you. If I remember, this was taken with a lumix gx7 at 1k. I now use a lumix gx8 at 4k. At higher resolution you need a lot of light and I use both portable led video lights and regular house hold led bulbs. It was the lens that came with the camera plus a 2x closeup ring.
Thanks for that info .
Thank you! I needed this!
Glad it was useful!
Awesome
Thank you
Thank you!!!
Thankuhh so much...
Its amazing😍
Hi! What if the zipper doesn't have that part you just tighten up?
It is a brass zipper? Some of the others, like nylon, are very different and this won't apply. There are also non-locking zips which don't lock.
It worked , thank you
You're welcome.
