Hello everyone...how goes? what tools do folk have / recommend for zippers? So far I have always just purchased pre-made to length zippers but want to start buying longer lengths and cutting to size for projects. I've seen some quite expensive specific ones but assume you can actually get some quite basic solid general stuff e.g. pliers but I don't know exactly what is needed. Thanks!

Thank you for this posting! I have just started trying to work out the zipper!
End cutters, smooth jawed pliers and a polished hammer. Pretty boring but I'm happy with the results.
Ha I didn’t expect someone to recommend a spoon! But some great ingenuity. I was more meaning cutters for removing teeth and pliers for installing stops.
Hi do you mean tools to help slide the zip slides onto the zip tap . I had my hubby bend an old spoon head and cut a slip in the centre to a size 5, which is the size I can get here. Face the spoon face down and mount into block of wood so it stand up in the air. I then can side it on really easy. I haven't managed to get the zip stops yet so not sure on the pliers. ( I hope that makes sense?)
