12/24/36/48 PCS Metal Aglets DIY Shoelaces Repair Shoe Lace Tips Replacement End Silver Black Gold Bronze

The media could not be loaded. The original plastic aglets started to come off the ends of my hiking boot laces. I didn't want plastic ones again so spent a teensy bit more and got these metal ones. I absolutely love them! They're easy and difficult to use at the same time but, if you work w/ them, they're a great product. The process is straight forward but requires a delicate touch to close them as the metal is very soft.I first singed the end of the laces to get rid of fuzzy strands and then inserted them into the open aglet. The directions say to use pliers to close them but, and this is where I say they're delicate, the metal is so soft, it's very easy to just clamp down on them but I think that will make them flat and possibly give them some sharp edges so fiddling w/ the pliers to shape and mold them is advised instead of just squeezing down. Mine came out exactly as I imagined they would - nice and round and the grooves and prongs worked exactly as designed. If you don't have the patience to mold them using the pliers, these might be frustrating to use.I hope this doesn't dissuade anyone from using these because they're an excellent product.

Great little anglets to replace worn out plastic anglets or add to clothes that didn't have any before. I would recommend purchasing a tool along side with these for ease of installation on clothes. These were really inexpensive but have a sturdy feel to them so they will be durable and are just under an inch long (~15/16"). The variety of colors ensure you get the right look on whatever clothes you put them on.

These would work great on regular athletic or boot laces, but the elastic I was using them on was lighter weight and I needed to double it up to get enough bulk for these to work well. Also, Amazon indicated the day they would be delivered and they were a day late, as often is the case. Amazon should do better with honoring their delivery dates.

They do work for shoe laces, but they are too small for most hood and shorts drawstrings. They are also much longer than the shoelace end, so they won't fit well over thick or wide shoelaces; and even when clamped on well, they will not fit easily through some shoe holes. The quality of the metal seems good so far, but takes some finesse to get it to clamp well over the shoelace end. Also the description says colors are silver, gold, bronze and black, but the black is actually more like a dark silver/gunmetal color.

My son has an issue with chewing on the strings of his hoodies. They end up looking ragged and gross. These have fixed that!! They look great AND he doesn’t want to chew on them!! For me, they’re a great value, they’re durable and go on easily.

I thought that these might be too small but they fit my round sneaker laces perfectly. Easy to crimp into place with my needle-nose pliers.

These aglets worked great and look great too. That said, please note that all you get are the aglets - no instructions. I did some online research, and this is how I put them on my laces. I tied a knot in the lace around where I wanted to shorten them. Then I rolled a short piece of scotch tape around the lace just below the knot to make the lace fit into the aglet. I cut the knot off just above the taped section. I use the crimping tool on a pair of electrician wire stripping pliers to crimp the aglet around the lace. Turned out great!

Who knew that such a tiny object could be so necessary and useful? Yes this aglet tip does do what it is supposed to do. It seals off frayed and slowly unraveling shoe lace tips. It is easy to apply. However, it does not grab the shoelace as tightly as the original aglet. After I crimped down one of these onto a shoelace, I accidentally moved my hand slightly sideways just before releasing the small pliers. The aglet slid right off.It obviously was no big problem in reapplying the aglet and crimping it down again. I just have to accept the fact that I may have to tolerate the aglet slipping off again if I step on the tip and not get too agitated over it.
