NEWS – I really needed one of these replacement zipper pulls a couple of years ago when I continued to use a large rolling suitcase that was missing a zipper pull. My own DIY solution was to use a twisty tie from a loaf of bread. Yeah, so classy. If you have a jacket, bag, etc that is missing a zipper pull, then definitely check out these mini metal carabiners. They come in packages of 4 zipper pulls for $10.95 from Amazon.

pretty nifty idea
for what it’s worth, my wife uses extra small s-biners
Craig, I didn’t even think about that or realize they made them small enough to fit on a zipper. Cool!
hopefully not too boring…
i’ve used strips of upholstery leather and split rings to make quick expedient pulls
i use a bleed knot so nothing except one of your pocket knives is required to make the pull…no rivets, punches, etc. (actually sometimes you don’t need the split ring)
i was on a horse whose steering wheel broke, the guy i was with cut the worn end of the rein off, made three slits in the leather, worked everything through and back to the corral we went
it is really weird to be on a horse that will only make right hand turns
anyway that’s where i discovered bleed knots
Craig, and now off I go to google to find out what a bleed knot is!
For exactly that purpose, I made my own using paper clips and Sugru.
Alan +5 DIY points to you sir!
