1.0 out of 5 stars The NOT original buttoneer is useless, December 27, 2008

This review is from: Avery Dennison The Original Buttoneer Fastening System (Misc.)

WHY can't I get refills for my Buttoneer anymore? To see the eminently useful single needle gun-style buttoneer google 'buttoneer 2' and see the original ad from spiketv website. JoAnn now sells what they call "the original Buttoneer", which isn't -- the new double barrelled one is limited to short weak useless fasteners for only standard shirt buttons. In the 80's, Dennison refilled the TRUE original Buttoneer and Buttoneer 2, with strong nylon fasterners for buttons, & other lengths for home/auto repair, crafts. Ronco obviously sold the idea to JoAnn who pressed Dennison to stop making strong, useful fasteners of varied lengths. The NOT-original-buttoneer now sold really robs consumers. The blog reviews agree, but the as-seen-on-tv spammers push them so far down you never see the truth. What a great product this was and could have continued to be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well, January 27, 2006

I bought this product a couple of years ago and I love it! It's really easy to use, and the fasteners are very sturdy; I haven't had any problems with mine. I would have to disagree with the previous reviewer's claims that it can't be used on waistbands. I use it to fix buttons on waistbands all the time and the prongs fit through the band fine - and this is on lined suit pants. The only disadvantage is that you can't use it on small buttons - the prongs are too big for the smaller holes of small buttons, so you won't be able to use it on your shirts or blouses.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly constructed., January 2, 2006

I purchased this product hoping to end my button sewing headaches. I had read a previous review which was favorable, but it stated it may take a bit of practice to master the device.

I couldn't get the buttons to fasten at first, but about the third try it worked! Unfortunately, when I tried to fasten the next button, the Buttoneer needle broke! So based on my experience- it's not worth it!
