Spiral zipper chain cutting tool "Gappy"

Spiral zipper chain cutting tool (Gapping Tool)
If you often shorten separable (open end) zippers, this tool removes completely the spiral chain and its sewing thread from both zipper tapes of sewn spiral zippers in seconds. As a result you obtain a neat top tape extension, which allows you to process further the zipper more easily. Application video

The tool is only available for 4 to 6.7 mm wide spiral chains. Each chain width requires a separate tool. The tool is not suitable for woven spiral zippers.

The name "Gappy" comes from the gapping process in the industrial zipper production. (Privacy notice: The video at the following link opens on the YouTube website.) external A gapping tool punches gaps in the endless zipper chain, before it is cut into finished lengths. Our "Gappy" tool does not punch gaps, but it has the same purpose: It removes the zipper chain from the zipper tape.

Magazine pliers for zipper bottom stops staples

Zangenhefter Elastic Zipp 5

(Old) Magazine pliers for 5 mm wide bottom stops

Stapling pliers Zipp 6

Magazine pliers for 6 mm wide bottom stops

With these pliers in the type of staple tools (pliers stapler) you can attach bottom stops on zippers with 4 mm and 5 mm or 6 mm chain width. The bottom stops clamps are available compounded as a staple strip. With up to 2 staple strips, you can insert about 50 bottom stops at once into the magazine of the bottom stop stapler. This allows you to attach bottom stops to zippers faster than using the Multi purpose pliers.

These bottom stops are only 1.5 mm long. Therefore, they cover the zipper chain less than the 3 to 4 mm long bottom stops used on fully automatic produced spiral zippers. Nevertheless, these bottom stop staples, which are only 1.5 mm long, also reliably stop the zipper slider so that the slider does not slide off the zipper chain. These zipper bottom stop stapling pliers are ruggedly built for constant industrial use.Application examples
