fix-n-zip
Please let us know if you try that type of zipper pull.
The short answer is.... almost, but not quite.
I looked online and found that Jo Ann Fabric carries them in stock, so I picked up two - one small, one medium
The small was not quite large enough to fit over the coils.
The medium was just slightly too large, and didn't knit the coils together all the time... sometimes yes, sometimes no, and enough "no" to be frustrating.
Great concept, just didn't quite fit. So I took them back and got a replacement zipper pull, will try the approach Christian suggests.
ProTip (tm): Jo Ann's preys on unsuspecting men. I didn't know that there are always - ALWAYS - online coupons for 40-50% off a regular-priced item, and every female apparently knows that "nobody ever pays full retail at Jo Ann's". Explains why they had the fix-n-zip for just about twice the price listed at Amazon; a clever person with a coupon gets the Jo Ann price down to "normal". Two minutes to download the app onto my phone solved the problem.
