- Many branded it ‘brilliant’ and a ‘life hack,’ while others said ‘mind was blown’
A viral video has revealed how you can put a zipper back on an item of clothing using nothing but a fork.
Twitter account Engineering posted the short but informative clip online, simply captioning it: ‘Repairing a zip.’
And many were left more than impressed with the ‘life hack’ – including Ryan Reynolds – who shared the video with his 15 million followers alongside the caption: ‘I’ve waited my whole life for this.’
In response to the footage, one social media user commented: ‘Are you telling me a fork could have saved six-year-old me’s favorite velociraptor coat?’ while a second joked: ‘I could cry.’

A third commented: ‘You telling me I didn’t have to throw my favourite coat,’ while a fourth added: ‘Okay, I’m going to try this and see if this really works. I love stuff like this. I’ve have so many thing to try this out on.’
In the 14 second clip, an anonymous person can be seen placing the zipper, which has come off a coat, onto the end of two middle prongs of a fork.
They then position the bottom of the teeth with the zipper on the fork, before gently easing it all the way through.
As a result, the zip can be seen gradually pulling together and clothing – and the jacket then appears as good as new.
Others branded the hack ‘brilliant’ and joked: ‘Where has this video been my whole life?’ (pictured)
However, while many social media users were gobsmacked by the ease of the hack, others suggested it’s just a short-term solution, as there’s nothing on the bottom of the puller to stop it from happening again.
‘Am I the only one looking at this and knowing it’s not “fixed”? Every time you take the jacket off you’ll be doing this, Hopefully you carry a fork with you everywhere,’ wrote one, while a second commented: ‘Not fixed. Sorry to be a party pooper.’
A third added: ‘There is no stopper on the end of that zipper, so unless you sow it down it will just unzip from the bottom,’ while a fourth penned:
‘Useless. It would just unzip from the bottom up. Nothing to hold the two parts together.’
Others cast doubt on the zip hack, and suggested it’s nothing more than a short-term solution (pictured)
