Everyone, at least once in their life, has been forced to deal with a broken zipper, which can essentially ruin any piece of clothing (pants, coat, a bag, etc.).

But there’s hope.

Via UCAN Zippers USA at the “Zipper Factory” in Los Angeles, a YouTube video shows how to repair a zipper that has gotten stuck.

All you need is a pair of pliers, which you use to gently clamp down on the mouth of the zipper.
