Dritz 9-65 No-Sew Dungaree Buttons, Nickel, 5/8-Inch 4-Count

Great addition to waistline problems!!

These arrived in a little ziploc bag rather than the Dritz retail packaging. They were as pictured, but that kind of made me wonder if they were genuine. They worked OK, so I have no complaints. I used one of the buttons to repair a broken front fly button on a pair of Levi jeans. These are slightly larger than the originals, but will fit. I'm giving them 4 starts because the are a bit flimsy.Other reviews of these buttons criticize them for being hard to work with. I used an awl to punch a hole in the fabric. Then I slid the barbed base through the hole, set the button on top of the barb and aligned it. Then flipped it over and set the button on a block of wood underneath. With a large flat punch I drove the base into the button.I had no problems getting the base to seat, but I did bend the button face a bit when I smacked the base once or twice too much. My advice is to drive the base a little ways, check it, then smack it again as needed. I was able to straighten the button out with a pair of pliers and a little pressure.The most important part is to have a metal punch close to the diameter of the barbed base, and a block of wood to set the button. If you try to just use a hammer to drive the base, you will likely bend it and be frustrated.

I bought these because two pair of jeans I purchased had the buttons fall apart and come off. Since there was already a hole from the button, these worked perfectly. I put the pin side through the existing hole in the waistband and seated it into the backing of the button. Then I folded a paper towel and used it to cover both sides because I used slip-joint pliers to then squeeze the button together (the paper towel was just to provide a non-slip surface and prevent the pliers from scratching the face of the button). Worked like a charm! My only complaint was these buttons are slightly smaller than the button that originally came on the jeans, but not so much smaller that I had to sew the button hole any to prevent it from coming undone once buttoned. Be warned if you are purchasing these to apply to something that doesn't already have a hole in it for them, you will need to use a different tool to first punch a hole in the garment because these buttons are not heavy-duty and will definitely bend if you try to hammer them together or push it through a fabric like denim.

Bought this snap on button to replace a sow in button on dress pants which kept poping off and breaking due to me gaining weight. XDSome additional tools you might want to have a sewing seam ripper or your fatest sewing needle and 3" table clamps, vice grips.This product is kinda straightforward button female side goes into the snap on male side. You visually see the female button side the male side is hidden on the inside. The installation took some work but isn't very difficult.InstallationClear out all the remaining thread strands from the old button with a scissor. Locate where u want your snap on button. I choose nearest to the edge to maximize stretch and width. Use the seam ripper and poke it through the material as deep as possible to stretch the fibers out a regular needle is too narrow for this job. You may need to do multiple attempts as the hole generally closes after you remove the seam ripper. You don't actually want to tear the material just make a hole large enough for the male part to poke through to the female side.Once you manage to get the male side through the hole in the material the female side may not snap on easily as the clothing is in the way. Take your vice clamps and pinch them over both the male and female sides. Let The clamps do the work the pressure will be sufficient to snap the pieces together. Done!The snap on buttons are supported by a metal rivet compared to thread. Congrats you now have dress pants with a button used on jeans. The rivet will generally outlast the lifetime of the material the pants are made of.

These are very easy to use, snap them together with your fingers. One thing I learned. They sell these by the diameter of the button face, these matched the strap button on my Liberty Overalls, but the diameter of the shaft inside was thicker than the original. After I put the first one on I couldn't get the clip to snap around it and wound up pulling it out of the fabric, on the next one I had to spread the clip to make it work. I don't think this would matter if you were replacing a button on a pair of jeans. This is a great deal, it's nice to be able to buy just a few to try and see if it's what you need.

Fine quality & value

I was prepared to fuss a little with these after reading reviews about how hard they were to install, but all I had to do was mark the location with a felt tip marker, put the waist of the jeans face up on a hard flat surface, slip the backing under the mark, push the fabric all the way down around the tack, hold the edges of the top piece, gently tap the button with a tack hammer until it was engaged and then tap hard enough to drive the tack app the way into the face of the button. I strongly recommend using a tack hammer or something else with a small flat face because a regular carpenters or construction hammer will make it hard to hold things in place.Be aware that you can only really reduce the waist of the jeans by an inch or so; any more and you won't be able to close the zipper all the way. Still, these little gems allowed me to get another several months use out of my jeans while my weight dropped, so I highly recommend them.

se puede quitar y volver a poner por si te equivocas jeje y si aguanta al cerrarlo sin que se habrá

The buttons are great for the price. You need to follow the simple instructions in order to install them properly.

Absolutely great and worth the price.My jeans had two broken buttons that I could replace with these ones, you just plug them together, it takes two seconds.Stable and safe.

Product works great for jeans that do not fit you, however once you place them you cannot take them out.

Terrible! I have had to re-hammer these on ten million times and have given up on my beloved jeans.
