This simple fix will extend the life of your blinds
With this tool, you can fix that broken slat
Did one of your slats break out?
well we can fix this
Turn it to the opposite end and using the hold punch, make a hole in the center
Now push it up into the connector
There you go... good as new!
In order to cut this ugly part off, warm it first with your hair dryer before cutting it off.

    You can purchase repair clips at Home Depot for a couple $$

    The repair clips are metal and I have used them before from Home Depot. They are visible unless you can paint them the color of your shades.
