FixnZip Instant Zipper Replacement, Nikel, Nickel, L

This is an outrageously EXCELLENT product that has rescued a beloved sailing bag. An over-exuberant teen tried to pack more into the bag than was ever going to be possible and the plastic zip slider broke. Even if we could find someone with the right sewing machine to fully replace the zip, it would be ridiculously expensive. I don’t know why others have struggled with this item - I fixed the bag in less than 5 minutes and that included the time taken to force off the old broken slider. I researched my options carefully to ensure the right size was selected for this zip (a YKK 10 - so definitely needed this XL size). The instructions were comprehensive and if stuck there is encouragement to reach out to customer care for assistance (not required). The job was a little fiddly, but certainly not complicated. The only thing I might alter in future is the zip pull just to make it slightly more convenient with wet/cold fingers to but this is a minor consideration. The key thing to know is that this large plastic zip can now be easily and securely fastened so its contents are safe & dry. Really happy to have restored 100% functionality for a fraction of the price of a full zip replacement or new bag. Very happy customer and will definitely reach for this solution again as and when other zips fail.

Was a bit fiddly getting the zip teeth to lock but after 5mins it's restored a old metal zip on sofa cushions, it's solidly made. Very pleased

Useless. Zip size correct but would not go on to the zip itself. Now in the bin of Amazon over promises

Read all the reviews but presumed some were 'finger trouble' so bought the zipper anyway. Arrived next day. Followed the instructions and zipped up my new raincoat (great coat, crap zipper). worked a treat. took less than a minute to fix, even with my fat fingers...

Purchased this item from seller in USA as none available in UK. Took 2 weeks to arrive and am impressed with the simplicity of this gadget. My jacket zip broke and rather than spend a fortune getting expensive zip replaced, I came across this little beauty of an item via sellers website for fraction of the cost of repair. After viewing couple of sellers instruction videos I decided to chance my luck and buy one. So glad I did as the FixnZip repair is easy to fit and works a treat. My broken jacket zipper has a number embossed on surface, and after checking with magnifier glass I could see the number and ordered the correct size via the helpful guides on FixnZip website. My only negative would be the lack of clear fitting instructions regarding how to fix all the parts onto your FixnZip. Instructions are printed on inside of stapled cardboard which is attached to a small plastic resealable bag. Take care when opening as not to damage card as instructions are printed inside of it. The zipper is easy to fit, just unscrew it and pop over teeth of your zip side on the correct side, hand tighten the screw fully, then about 1/4 turn back and simply pull up. The enclosed items included a piece of cord, piece of plastic and also a small key ring which allows you to attach it to the new FixnZip. I knew what all parts were and where they went, it,s just it could be confusing for some as to figure out how they are actually fitted. Make sure that your teeth on your plastic or metal zips are intact and none are missing or broken or this item will not work properly. They can be used to repair jackets, sleeping bags, jeans, rucksacks, just about any garment that has a zip on it :) Hope this helps someone decide about this particular item.

Right size and fitted easy but quite hard to slide just kept coming off.

I wasn't optimistic that this would work given other comments and return rate but thought it was worth a go, given the alternative was a new suitcase. As it turned, it has worked perfectly for me. After a few minutes fiddling to attach it to the zipper, I now have a usable suitcase again.

This product is amazing My Zipper broke inside my samsonite luggage case. It was going to be an expensive repair. I contacted
