Needle-nose pliers fixed the worn slider — here's why
A tiny slider adjustment restored a metal zipper. I checked YKK's explanation, measured the chain at about 5 mm, and mapped out the replacement path if it returns.

Coming soonProduct specifications, real measurements, calculations, assumptions, and the things that did not work. I try to keep measured values, estimates, and inference separate, with references when outside sources support a technical claim.
