Shortening zippers

The one benefit these do have is the ease of replacing a zipper pull. Snip it off,
replace the pull and put another on. Or just hand the pieces to the customer.
Don't know how many times I've been at a marina and someone has asked me to
fix one.

Yep! I typically carry a few spares in my bag just in case I forgot to slide a pull
back on a zipper after I sewed it on. I usually double check but I have missed a few
over the years. Keep a couple pulls and crimp stops saves from running back to the
shop.

I keep an extra set of dies for the Press-N-Snap too.
