Monkey's Fists and a fist full of Fair Trade. How a little knot's making a big difference... A monkey's fist is a type of knot, so named because it looks somewhat like a small bunched fist. The monkey's fist knot is most often used as the weight in a heaving line. Our version is used on all Red Oxx bags and cases. The knot makes it easier to grab the zipper pull. Use them on you favorite coat or ski jacket or as a key chain! Each knot is hand tied by our craftsman in the highlands of G Read More...>

Love these monkey fists! I have them on most of my luggage, backpacks and fleece coats. They make it so easy to find and pull the zippers. Great product and cheap!

Biker Jacket Zippers
By Chris - March 2, 2010

Wello there, I'd have to state the first thing I'd tie those little primates onto is my motorcycle jacket zippers. Between the rain and the snow and the hail, the leather pulls on my 8 motorcycle zippers have left me looking like a paperclip dispenser on The Office. I have jumbo paper clips in front, down the middle, sides and in back where the original zipper pulls have defected. So! Give me something durable, that's going to outlive my jacket and hopefully not me. That's use one. Secondly, I plan to use them on my chaps. Even with a bigger zipper, the pull still gets buried amidst a mass of cow leather. So that's use two. Thirdly, how about a belt, to anchor the pants. Take a bucket o monkeys and intertwine them, not only do you have a new trend and fashion statement, you've got yourself a bonafied billboard exclaiming the triumph's of Red Oxx and their conceptual design team. Yessirree. You want a tried and true suspension belt that will live to be as old as your favorite jeans, none other than the Monkey Fist Belt will suffice. So, there are my three suggestions. Keep in mind, these are not my top three, these are just the three to win me the bag o Monkey Fists. After that, the sky is the limit. Hmmm, which may lead me to my Monkey Fist ladder.... It's all good, Chris

Great Product!

They just work! I use them everywhere. Easy to find. Easy to grab even with gloves. I'm always finding somewhere I need one.

Job equals work
By Anonymous - Colorado Springs December 1, 2009

This is a handy, functional product and now appears on virtually every zipper I own. Not only is it excellent but the idea behind it should be taught in every governmental agency. If you give someone a job, it gives them worth. Jim Markel's partnership with the people in Latin America who make this delightful, handy little product is something that we continue to miss in our dealings with other countries. People do not want handouts; they want to work. By providing a means for this work, Jim has done more for our relationship with a foreign country than all the high dollar programs put together. If I ordered a thousand of these handy little pulls, I'd still order more.

Knots That Rock
By Dennis Moser - Wyoming November 26, 2009

How do we like the Monkey's Fist Zipper Knots? Well, we buy them by the dozen ... Simple tools are often the best, as they lend themselves to creative applications. It all started when I bought a dozen for a piece of soft luggage. Put one on every zipper, and next thing I knew, my wife wanted some of them too. They are just simply very practical. Can't say enough good things about them and I really appreciate that their production is part of a Fair Trade initiative that is working ... just like these little guys!

Great product. Works like a charm as a zipper pull.

Be prepared
By Jeff Kamp - Miami, Florida April 14, 2009

Always be prepared, never leave home without your Monkey Fists...Once upon a time, I was trapped inside a locked bathroom of an isolatedfastfood joint. They kept me there for 29 days. They kept feeding meSupersized meals. It was addicting after a while. Must have been one ofthe secret ingredients. I gained 10 pounds and my face started to puff outwith pimples. I felt euphoric at first, but as time went by I got depressed and lethargic. I couldn't take it anymore. It finally dawned on me that I could link all of my Monkey Fists together and lower myself through the window. I have since lost the 10 pounds, my face cleared up, feel much better ingeneral, but I do have a little twitch anytime I pass by a fast food joint.I don't know what would have happened to me (might have started to growcurly red hair, huge feet with red shes, and a red nose) if it weren't for my Monkey Fists. I could really use some more.Jeff KampJeff, You win! Congratulations on coming up with the most innovative use of a Monkey's Fist I've seen yet! ~Jim

My nieces and nephews saw one hanging off my fall jacket. They thought it was awesome! Being the great uncle I am (pat on back) I stripped my newly acquired Flying Boxcar of a few of it's "fists" and outfitted the whole crew. Monkey Fist Zip Knot- $0.75, a child's smile- priceless!
