That $9 blind repair kit saved my kitchen blinds for real

My vertical blinds in the kitchen kept breaking at the bottom clip. Four slats just hanging there. Looked terrible for two months. Finally grabbed a repair kit from Ace Hardware near my house last Tuesday. Each slat clips back in under 30 seconds now. Anyone else put off fixing something simple way too long?

Did you get the kind with the little plastic nubs that snap into the track or the ones with the metal rods? I tried a metal rod kit once and it slid out after like a week because my blinds are the cheap paper thin kind from Home Depot. Your Ace Hardware kit sounds like it actually holds, which is what I need to know before I grab one.

Make sure the bracket on the blind itself actually has a slot for that metal rod first. I learned the hard way some cheap blinds just glue a flat piece of plastic on there and nothing will stay.
