Buttoneer Button Fastening System - NEW and Improved! - Attaches Buttons & More in Seconds - No Sewing Necessary & Works on Most Fabrics

The Avery Buttoneer works very well for attaching more or less standard size shirt buttons to two layers of fabric. Larger button’s hole spacing makes inserting the needles a little difficult, and may prevent both “T” ends from unfolding, with the button failing to attach. Same for more than three layers of fabric. In any case, use the provided thimble to hold the back side of the fabric firmly against the buttoneer while squeezing the trigger. Be sure to order a packet of refills. We used it to attach buttons through three and four layers of fabric on a count down Christmas Tree.

Bought this thing years ago and the minute that I unpacked it to use it and I follow the instructions to the letter -it did nothing. I had a button pop off my pants, went to go to fix it, and got this thing out . Well, it sure as heck didn’t work . Wound up poking my fingers with those needles . You have to use a thimble.- which is odd because it’s advertised as super simple - on-the -go kind of thing but yea , you are out on the road on a trip and uh oh “ where did I put my thimble ?” It is touted as this real simple thing - just snap in and fix your pants right away or shirt or whatever but no this thing doesn’t work. I think the previous generation worked OK but this thing is GARRRRR BAGE … The thing doesn’t properly put the plastic fastener through the holes . I literally could’ve fixed my pants faster with a needle and thread rather than this piece of garbage. I COULD HAVE , in the amount of time wasted on this thing, dug up my sewing kit or went to the drug store and got a kit faster than the amount of time wasted on this thing. This thing is now bits of plastic that are broken from being smashed by being thrown violently against the garage floor by me.

Works great. Once you get the hang of usage it can save lots of time. Hopefully the fasteners survive the laundry... supposedly that was an issue before the upgrade. Watching the YouTube video helps.

Love it, was really having a hard time sewing on buttons. This tool make it easy.

I liked the idea Of a simple fix, however after just one washing the plastic attachments that hill the button on broke and now I'm in the same place as I was before ordering. It's very irritating and a waste of money.

I purchased one of these about 3 years ago and found that it was a piece of garbage. I could never get the darn thing to work. So when I read that this is a new and improved model, I had to take a shot. Same garbage, same cheap material, could never get it to work properly. Properly. Don't waste your money.

I used to use the old Buttoneer with great success. Then, the fasteners themselves stopped being of high quality. I ordered refills from several vendors and they were all brittle and would not hold like the old fasteners. On the new model, the QUALITY of the actual fasteners themselves is back. They work and hold just fine. The other improvements are well thought out and helpful. The pistol grip design makes it easier to use. The onboard storage for the fasteners is a nice touch. Finally, the cap that covers the needles also provides a handy surface to push against when using a fastener. Previously, I used my fingers and almost got stuck a couple of times. The functionality is back and a good deal! The new fasters, however, do not work with the old Buttoneer. So, you do have to buy the new one to use the quality fasteners.

This product is poorly made, and does not work as described. Had to return after trying to use one time.

TLDR: No fasteners included; fasteners are weak; save your money, just use needle and thread. First off the buttoneer did not come with any fasteners, despite being mentioned in the packaging on the product photos, so be prepared to purchase those separately, or better yet, don't purchase this piece of garbage at all. The fasteners only seem to work with very thin buttons, as they were not able to reach through the holes in the buttons I tried the product with. The mechanism of the fasteners seems to be similar to the nylon tags you see on clothes to attach labels/tags, so are likely to break with minimal force, so definitely not suitable as a button fastener (how else do you think the button came off in the first place). Save your money, don't buy this garbage. get a simple needle and thread, it'll work a lot better than this piece of garbage.

A bit awkward to use. Not as straight forward as you would think.

What a waste of money. The unit came with of 4 strips of fasteners . I think i must of have used 1/6 of them just to attach two buttons. That's was only to test the unit and must have spent an hour on that. I think it would have been faster to do them with a needle and thread. On top of that the unit is very cheaply made. It feels like it's going to break at any moment. It's not worth the price paid. It should be around 30-35 dollars at the most. It's only good with shirt buttons. Don't try to use it on a sweater with bigger buttons. A fact that's not mentioned anywhere on the page. Very disappointed with this purchase. I strongly don't recommend it. Beware of this product. You've been warned.
