Mini Blind Repair Tool by MiniBlindRx

It takes some getting used to but fixes mangled blinds well

For me this did not work, may be ok if slat has very slight bend but does not work on kinks. Waste of Money.

It does work just takes a few times to get the knack. My blinds have been damaged/bent constantly by my cat and kids and this helps get them back in shape. Not 100% but once you get the knack right it helps

Blind fixing 10/10

If you squeeze the tool too hard it dents the slat edge, or squashes the slat too much, needs care..!! It does straighten but not 100%, but I maybe need to practice a bit more

Despite watching numerous videos and trying in our best, we couldn't get the blinds to go back into some shape. The blinds had been crumpled by the grandkids, we tried in vane to get them into some shape but failed

Didn’t work had to get new blinds

Great for small bends and dinks. Will not repair any slat that has been creased tho.

Does a great job

This gadget worked beautifully on my silver miniblinds to repair the curve and creases resulting from damage caused by a child shoving a wooden chair into the blind. IT BOTH STRAIGHED A CREASE OR TWO AND SMOOTHED THE BLIND SURF. IT IS NOW BARELY VISABLE! P.S. It takes patience.

Buy this! If you have pets or children, this little gem works wonders. It won’t make the blinds look brand new but it does make the bent parts undetectable. So much easier and faster than installing new blinds.

Didn't work at all !

I have to admit when I first got this and tried it, it seemed like it totally didn't work. I even had a hard time getting it into the device. I tried to instantly crimp the portion of the blind that was damaged and it didn't change it. It still looked damaged and bent. I was beginning to think 'what a waste of money.' I went away for a few minutes about to call Home Depot to see if they simply had new blinds in stock. Then I stopped myself and thought I'd better give it at least one last try. This time I held the damaged part in the device at a curve and held it for about 30-40 seconds. When I released it it had made it significantly better this time. Then I did kind of the same thing in three little areas on the same damaged part again to try and clean it up a bit more. I would say that made it better by another 20%. I think the key here is you have to hold the damaged part curved in the device for at least 40 seconds, maybe even pushing your thumb along it, and then kind of focus more on the nuanced parts of the same damage portion to try and clean it up after the first attempt. I would say if you are a patient person and are willing to treat the process as a kind of microscopic surgery to an extent as opposed to a job you can complete instantly then I think you'll appreciate this device. If the blinds are still hanging it's basically a situation of pulling up a chair for a good half hour and getting to work like a craftsman on them. Maybe you can speed up the process as you get good at it but just prepare yourself to treat it as if you were about to carve a small wood sculpture. It is rewarding though once you see them sort of come back to life. To add, this really works best on blinds that have been bent simply at a 90 degree angle rather than those that are actually mangled and bumpy. Like I said with the bumps it really takes a bit of work and nuanced focus to get those looking decent again.
