we use it for decorative buttons on upholstery jobs. quick and easy to operate. Durable and sturdy . Good quality

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I thought this would be a good item since it was the Singer brand, but I did everything possible to get this device to work and to no avail the fasteners would not go through the button holes to attach to fabric. This was a total waste of time and money. I did read the previous reviews and saw some questionable ones, and had looked at other devices due to the fact that I'm not good with needle and thread and wanted something that could attach buttons quickly. Don't waste your money on this product or you'll be returning it to. I had passed up other models due to the Singer name.Functionality:I picked this item due to its functionality and ease of being able to repair a missed button.

The tool arrived with no fasteners and no buttons - nothing else in the box besides paper packing material. Very disappointed, this was an urgent delivery for me.-- UPDATE --Amazon shipped me a replacement immediately, got it next day. Satisfied due to excellent response, updated to 4 star :DOn the tool itself - it works well on thinner clothing (shirts), but on thicker clothing (coats) not as well. I did manage to get 3 of 4 buttons to work on a winter coat, but the 4th just wouldn't work for me.

For us men, this Singer Button Fast is fantastic! It uses rivet-like fasteners to do the work of sewing. Great device.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I chose this Singer Button Fast because it’s made by Singer. I had read reviews about missing fastener strips, but also read about the compartment in the unit that stores the fastener strips. When I opened the package, all I saw were the 12 buttons in the compartment, so I was thinking I hadn’t received the strips either. Then I saw there was a second compartment in the top of the unit. That turned out to be where the strips are located.I was trying to secure a button to the front of my pajama top. We’re not talking thick material here, just jersey material. But the fastener would not go all the way through to the back of the material to secure it. After seven wasted tries, I went out to my studio where I have a wooden shipping station. It has some small holes drilled in it. I put the button fast through the button and through the material, pulled the material very taught, and all the way down the base of the needle. Then I put the needle into the hold in the wood, and pushed down hard on the unit while pulling the trigger. That’s when I realized that the trigger basically has two clicks before the fastener pushes all the way through to the back of the material. One click releases it from the strip, but you have to pull the trigger very hard all the way back until you hear the second click. That’s when it is secured through the button and material.What I don’t like about it, other than it being hard to use without applying pressure is the way the fastener sticks up on the back of the fabric. It forms little V shapes, which stick out and scratch against your body, as in the attached image. The end doesn’t lie flat like you see on the plastic fasteners they use to attach price tags to clothing. Overall, I finally got it to do what it’s supposed to do, but am not happy with the final result or how difficult I found it to use.

Works as advertised.

I used it on a pair of dress shorts, kinda similar to docker, the little tabs would not shoot all the way through the material. Instead of the little ball that’s supposed to fit down in the hole snuggly, it kind of dangles. I wasn’t impressed.

This is perfect just what I needed. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this product.
