Universal Zipper Jig Slider Installer – The "Third Hand" Tool
Stop Fighting Your Zippers. Start Finishing Your Projects.
If you’ve ever spent twenty minutes wrestling a slider onto a length of zipper chain only for it to go on crooked, this tool is for you. Known in the industry as the "Third Hand," our Universal Zipper Jig is designed to streamline your workflow and eliminate the hand fatigue that comes with high-volume zipper installation.
Whether you are working on heavy-duty marine cushions, automotive upholstery, or delicate furniture covers, this jig provides the stability needed to align zipper teeth perfectly every single time.
Why Every Shop Needs This Jig
-
True Universal Fit: Unlike fixed-size installers, this jig is engineered to handle everything from small #2.5 coil zippers to massive #10 heavy-duty molded plastic and metal zippers.
-
Bench-Mount Ready: Easily secures to your workstation or cutting table using a standard C-clamp (not included), allowing you to use both hands to guide the zipper tape.
-
Precision Alignment: By holding the slider in a fixed, upright position, it ensures the teeth enter the slider evenly, preventing "waistboarding" or jammed tracks.
-
Industrial Durability: Built from rugged materials to withstand the daily demands of a professional upholstery or canvas shop.
How It Works
-
Secure the Jig: Clamp the tool to the edge of your table.
-
Load the Slider: Place your zipper slider (nose down) into the appropriately sized slot on the jig.
-
Feed the Tape: Pull both sides of your zipper tape through the slider simultaneously.
-
Done: The slider is now perfectly installed, and you’re ready to sew.
