Crack stitching kit to repair garden wall

[svouts]

The front garden wall is 3m long by 1m high and has shown signs of movement with a vertical crack throughout in the middle.

I am thinking as quick solution to use a Crack stitching kit:

What do you think.

Is it worth spending so much? Can't you just re-point the crack?

probably cheaper to rebuild the wall if you know how to lay bricks

I was thinking to use filler to close the crack and then decorate. Then I thought that The crack will appear again. Is there any special resin I can use that it will do better work than just concrete?

Ps, I know that best way is to demolish and build a new wall but it is too much for the moment...

so far so good...a very small hairline crack appeared again after a few months but that's all. It has stopped there and only if you look look carefully you notice it.

No it is so small it does not show from 1 meter. But I have to treat it in case water goes in frost conditions and opens up. We did not have frost this winter so I will do the next mhiths. It is mostly a decorative...and is stable for last years.
