Do I need any tools to install it?

How durable is the antique silver finish?

Troubleshooting
Zip puller won't attach securely.
Ensure the zipper slider has a loop or hole of sufficient size for the snap hook. Check that the snap hook is fully closed.
Snap hook feels stiff.
Gently work the snap hook back and forth a few times. If stiffness persists, a tiny drop of lubricant (like sewing machine oil) may be applied to the hinge, ensuring it doesn't stain fabric.
Finish appears to be wearing off.
This is typical for antique finishes with heavy use. Clean with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive materials. For significant wear, replacement may be considered.
