A bit pricey but they fixed our sofa!

I was skeptical when I found it online but it really works! You just put it on the zipper, pull it tight and it does the job. We needed a replacement pull for our sofa and this was the only solution we found that didn't require replacing the entire zipper or cutting the pillowcase. 1 star deducted only because of the price. They're around $7-10 each, which seems expensive, especially if you're buying to fix a zipper on a hoodie, for example.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Discontinued

Worth a try but didn't last

Both closed zippers on my watersports bag had deteriorated over the years and I couldn't find a replacement bag that did the same. So it was worth fixing the zippers. After watching video tutorials and working with different sizes for hours, I was able to fix both zippers. Unfortunately, this didn't last long and the teeth began to come apart behind the flash. Maybe I only need 2 bags to do what this bag did. It was worth it. Your experience could be better

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • unreliable

Doesn't work for all apps - needs a different size or something.

Not suitable for my use on a car seat cover. The size was right on the edge for small/medium and neither worked. I watched all the videos and followed the instructions. It just doesn't pull the coils together. Disappointed as I had high hopes it would work and for the price. It's really necessary. Appears to be tightly built. May work for other applications, but if your zipper size isn't in the middle of the band shown, you should look elsewhere. Good that there is a generous return policy.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Thin

So far it's working fine! good for sewing

I saw this on a video how to fix broken zippers and thought I would try to fix a broken sofa cushion. I spent 2 hours of my time performing fixnzip a few inches below my teeth as shown in the video. I continued to fail miserably. I ended up just trying at the base where the teeth first meet and did it on the first try. So this is my only recommendation for new users if you are from the video too. It works, it just has to have different positioning depending on the type of zipper you are…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • out of fashion
