Well I finally had it with my vertical blinds that keep breaking, so I made a protection clip to make the verticals a little less likely to break. This plastic clip seems to hold well and is so far holding up to my cats rampage into them. When installing the clip make sure the full side is on the rounded side of the bind or it won't work properly.I've so far replaced two blinds in my house using these clips and all seem to be working well.
