Dritz Home 44352 Cord Condensers, White (4-Piece)

The media could not be loaded.  Works well. Easy to use and install. White color as described. Good product.

I installed these on some double wide heavy wood blinds. They are holding up well and look neat. Wasn't sure they would stand up to the load but was pleasantly surprised. Have been up several weeks, will edit my review if they fail.UPDATED 12/4/23The condensers on the wide blinds covering three windows popped open. I super glued the halves together, let them dry overnight and I can use them very gently. First pull brings the condenser down where I can reach the cord above it and then I use the cord to pull up the blinds. I don't use them every day, either. Just open the blinds at an angle to prevent sunlight from bleaching art work. They are fine for single windows but wider spans with heavy wood blinds need a heavy duty condenser. I really like the small compact size but they don't have the heft for more than one window. Have worked fine in other windows that I open daily.

For starters, this is very expensive for what it is, however they know they can mark up their item because I cannot find anything remotely close anywhere! Not Home Depot, Lowes, anywhere. I really needed them so I just bit the bullet for paying almost $10 ($3.17 each) for these. Unless I just don't know what these are called I couldn't figure out where to find them and I just happen to find these on amazon. There are some pros and cons to them. Let me start with the Pros.Pros1. Easy to install - kind of.I had a blind that had unaffected cords, so it was easy, just slipped the top through the three strings, tied a knot, chose one to keep long and cut the other two. Screwed the two pieces back together and worked great!The issue I ran into were two things, if you have a blind that only has two cords, make sure you tie a big enough knot or it will pull through the top. If you have a cord that's already cut and you have to add length, you're going to have to skip the two pieces on then tie your pieces together then screw it. Don't rely on the pieces to hold together well enough to hold the weight.2. Looks great! So much better and made my blinds more functional however there is a slight catch, which I will have in the cons list.Cons1. The first con is if you have faux wood blinds that are heavy and big like the one pictured, be careful before you yank in the cord. If you have all three strings like you're supposed to, it should be fine. But if you had cords like mine that I had to add length to, it won't work UNLESS you tie them all together. If you only have two strings, make sure your knot is big enough that it doesn't pull through. The item isnt great quality so even though it's screwed together, it doesn't hold well. And can get separated if you're not tying the cords all together.2. Obviously the price, so over priced! Definitely should have been like $5 and I would rave about these things to everyone I know.Overall they work, just need some creative ideas if you're trying to add length to your cord.

Works great for Roman Shades. Was able to condense 5 cords with these

I purchased the white wooden versions of this item to use on drapery draw strings. We had to drill the top hole a little larger (which I expected) but they worked great and look good.

The media could not be loaded.  It wasn't able to stay connected. The plastic parts separated even though they were screwed together. The solution was to tie a knot, connecting the top and bottom cords in the plastic coupler. This old teacher gave this product a C.

These wood cord pulls were exactly what I was looking for to replace the old plastic attic cord pull that was original to the house. After 17 years, the plastic just started cracking, and my child finished it off. ;-) I only needed one pull, but I guess I have an extra for later now. It was a little challenging to get the thick cord through the small hole of the cord pull. I found twisting and pushing worked best. After I was able to get the cord through and tie a knot, this pull looks great! I am very happy!! It looks much better than the original plastic one!

I needed something for the end of the rope for my attic pull down stairs in my garage. This worked perfectly. It is a two pack so I have an extra if needed in the future.

I have been looking for a simple cord condenser/reducer replacement for the ones that have broken (from years of use) from our BlindsAreUs pleated blinds. These Dritz Condensers do the trick. The one thing they don't provide are the #6 and #8 nylon washers (from Home Depot) I used to tie the cord ends and slip inside the condensers. Check out the How-To video for these condensers on YouTube.

Was as described

prodotto acquistato per ben due volte, i pezzi non sono 6 ma 2 , mah ... !!!!!

Perfect

Not as advertised. Item description said "6 piece", but I only received a pack of 2.Other than that they look ok and like they would do the job.
