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.

Overall, I am pleased with this. The item had no information as to where to get instructions from, so there were just some basic unhelpful pictures on the packaging. A web search or three later (to get one that was easy to follow) was required.Basically, on a trouser zipper, you need to ensure that the zipper has anough teeth connected before you put the pull on.One thing that none of the videos appreciates is that the zip you are mending might be installed into an unforgiving pair of leather motorbike trousers. Nor were there any hints and tips such as, when zipping a zipper together by hand, there is a right and wrong way (the teeth on a zipper join together better when one side is placed over the other - which side your zipper works best with I can't say, but now you know).The metal loop could not be installed to get the zipper going, so this was done with no aid.Once the zipper teeth are back on track, you need to losen the adjuster on the puller in order for it to work smoothly. Then you (with difficulty) thread the cord through and make the plastic puller part.It all sounds very complicated, but it does work - and this was on possibly the most difficult of heavy duty zips. For the money I paid it was worth the hassle.

i don't usually write reviews on products i buy on amazon but i just have to do one for this one. I purchased this zip to replace the closed-end zipper on my jacket. The zip was straight forward to fit on the end of the zip line but the jacket would not zip up when i pass it through the open end zip. I tried repeatedly to make it work, but to no avail.

Bought it as I've broken the zipper of my only winter jacket.At first, it didn't work then I realized I'd installed it incorrectly. Read the instructions properly, it's easy and quick to install, make sure you follow the correct type of instructions per zipper style.

What a great product!After mislaying a zipper for a section of a tent (which would have made the whole tent unusable of not fixed) I came upon this item on Amazon and thought I'd give it a try.To my absolute delight, it worked!After being quoted in excess of £60 to send the tent off to be fixed, I found this a very cheap but more than sufficient solution to the problem.Having now camped in the tent and had no problems with the zip at all, I can honestly say it works!P.S. Love the sticker on the items which offers help if you purchase the wrong size etc. It's small touches like this that sets small businesses apart from their larger counterparts.

This product was bought to fix the zip on a coat. Unfortunately it was more suited to use on a much larger item and as there is no exchange on the item it is consigned to the back of a drawer. and I am unable to rate it

Really good idea, just not cut for what I wanted though.It seems to jam up a fair bit. Not a bad price if it works for others, I may just have a one off faulty one perhaps?

Firstly, what you see is not what you get. The zip can have either a plastic pull attached by a cord or a metal ring pull.It sort of works but, Catch 22, to get it tight enough to zip up you cannot get the material on the other side through the zipper. You have to loosen it off, fit it, tighten then zip up.But it looks like it may give a rather expensive leather coat a new lease of life if it lasts.
