As useful and practical as they are, so much so that they are considered a real revolution in the clothing industry, zippers have only one flaw: they often break easily and it seems almost impossible to repair them.

This is especially unpleasant if it is a zipper on a pair of pants, or perhaps a newly purchased jacket or bag. In these cases, it is always good to be able to count on an instant repair trick .

A broken or stuck zipper can be a real torture, but there are several solutions and we suggest the most effective ones below.
1. Cursor that has gone out of the chain

Use pliers to hold the chain in place, while using a screwdriver to open the appropriate space on the slider where the chain should pass through. The opening should be small enough for the chain teeth to fit through.

Once both parts are inserted, lightly press the slider to join all the elements and fix them, then move it up and down.

2. Extractor roto

Sometimes, due to wear and tear, the handle, which is the metal piece that we grab to open the zipper, can break or come off.

Use a screwdriver to lift up the part where the handle is attached, to insert a thin piece of fabric that will replace the handle.
