Why You’ll Love It:

If you’re tired of wrestling with zipper sliders, this jig is the fix. It clamps straight to your bench and holds sliders from #2.5 up to #10, so you can zip with confidence. The upper arm swivels around and locks wherever you need it, which makes it easy to load zippers forward or backward. It’s one of those tools that’ll save you a lot of headache once you’ve used it a couple times.

Key Specs:

  • Material: Nickel-plated steel

  • Size Range: Fits sliders from #2.5 to #10

  • Dimensions: 5.5" tall x 4.75" wide

  • Made in the USA

Built to Make Things Easier:

This jig was made to solve a simple but annoying problem. Whether you're loading standard pulls or reversing one for a hidden zip, the clamp holds steady and frees up your hands. It’s heavy-duty, built to last, and doesn’t slide around while you're working. Toss it on your bench and thank yourself later. Instructions included below if you're curious on how it works.

My first rule has always been, if the zipper is broken you should trash it and make/buy a new one. Secondly, while Aaron was “constructing” zippers I was still buying readymade ( expensive but second rule- I don’t construct zippers). EXCEPT at midnight when all you have is the Aaron zippers. So, I learned to manually construct them ( especially when Aaron is trying to decide if his customer is right-handed or left- handed- if you put two zipper heads on there nose to nose you don’t have to figure it out. But…. Manually loading a zipperhead isn’t easy and it’s not quick UNLESS you have a zipper jig (or three hands). Surely this jig is good for other things like tying flies? It’s a gem. I now know more about constructing zippers than that lady down at the upholstery shop and she does it all day every day. (She trimmed hunks off the end of my zipper to get it to accept a head ). I used to think I was smart because I could shorten a zipper ( my dressmaker friend said the problem with short zippers is they are so darn expensive (duh, you don’t know what you don’t know) now I’m even smarter cause I can load heads on a headless zipper. Watch out ya’ll, you never know what an old lady is gonna learn next.
