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

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.

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.

Not as good as the original but is functional.

I had lost my older model. Blue and white. This new configuration is much better.

The first unit broke with the first use. A replacement just arrived and I will re-watch the instructional video again and again to see if I missed something. Part of the problem the first time around was that I was trying to attach a button to a shirt cuff. I think the extra thickness might have been an issue. This time I'll start with a regular button on a shirt front. Hope it works. I really need this to work.

I gave it a shot despite the terrible reviews. I should have saved my time and the environmental impact of this land filler. It straight up doesn’t work. I used up a whole strip of plastic U shaped things for one button and finally got one to stay in place. It broke off a minute later because the plastic has no strength. Clearly theoriginal manufacturer stopped making the old good one and Avery Denison this would be a decent replacement in a pinch. It is NOT.

I tried using this on my work pants, which are thick, for the top butt on. It failed miserably. Perhaps it works on thin fabric shirts, etc. If you're thinking about buying this and using it on heavy fabric, think twice.

I feel in love with the Buttoneer 25 years ago when my daughter's were taking dance class as children. I used this to attach bows and other items to costumes, repair tips and tears when they were on stage, etc. It works for just about everything. I was unable to find the tacks for my old one, so I was unable to use it for years and I missed it more than anything. I was so happy to see this new unit online again! I currently decorate ballet tutus and this little baby once again did not disappoint!! Every item attached to the tutu has to be tacked on, but still removable so the underskirt can be reused for different performances and these went on smoothly and easily, and are holding the appliques securely. This little gem is a true time saver!!
