How to Easily Fix a Separated Zip on Your Chainsaw Trousers

Zippers in chainsaw pants get a hard time. We're tested and trialed every available zip that we could find to get the best performance. Our current zips are rugged with a reverse coil or chain to keep debris out. Dirt, wood chips and other material can still get into coil between the teeth. The slider then starts sticking and the natural reaction is to pull the slider. This can damage the chain but most often it separates the front and back of the slider. The result is that the slider pulls up but the chain or the parts on each side of a zipper fail to mesh. This video shows you how to use a multi grip plier to gently squeeze the top and bottom of the slider back together so the zip starts functioning again.
