I have had a couple of these repair items for my roller blind off calbony. They do work and are strong. After some initial fumblings, they are fairly straight forward to fit, but like any job, they do require a degree of skill.

There are two issues though:-

The first is that although the blind now works, there is nothing to stop the end caps from coming off, as there is nothing that secures the end caps to the metal repair pieces. This could be a little dangerous if the caps fall off while you are holding the end, as the metal repair pieces are under high tension!!

Also they don't fit all rollers, as some rollers are very slightly different and need some fettling to make good. They are better now they are laser cut, but still don't fit all types without work.
