Your comments were so precise that I could fix my daughter's school bag! For that small fix, I would have needed to book a cab to the tailor too. So that was big time money saver, that too in quick time!

But you’re still cutting. Try just shoving it back in there first. If that doesn’t work you can open up the slider until it fits and and then squeeze it with pliers to tighten it back up. No cutting required.

Wow thank you! This is so easy to understand. I got a pair of jeans for 10 bucks but the zipper broke in the wash. I took them to my local alteration place and they wanted to charge me $30 bucks to fix the zipper!!!! I was like I could just buy a new pair of jeans for that!

Great video. I just used a safety pin to stop the zip from going past the cut and coming off the runner again though. I remembered my aunt always putting a safety pin through her jeans zippers when they wore out to stop them from coming undone. Love these old school fixes from the days when people couldn't afford to throw away their clothes when they started to wear out. This wisdom needs to be handed down to the new generation ASAP. Too much throwing away and not enough repairing going on these days.

You’re a genius. It worked perfectly on my sons book bag until I zipped it around to the other side and found 2 inches of track pulled away from the other side. But your fix would have been perfect.

Before you start cutting: try just shoving it back in first. If it got out it can get back in. If it doesn’t fit, pry the slider a little to widen it, put it back in, then squeeze it gently with pliers to tighten it up. No cutting required.
