Best button maker machines

Start here: the Caydo 3-in-1 kit. It's the one I'd hand a beginner or a small shop: three die sizes (1", 1.25", 2.25") in one lever press, a cutter and a starter batch of parts, and the strongest owner ratings of the group.

Who the others suit:

• VEVOR 3-in-1 — the cheapest way to get three sizes at once; plastic build, so fine for occasional batches.
• Happizza Multi-Size — two sizes and 200 sets included; good if you mostly make 1.25" and 2.25" pins.
• Single-size 58mm presses (Happizza, DCBADGE, AsterOutdoor) — buy one if 2.25" badges are all you make; cheapest and simplest to learn on.
• VEVOR 75mm metal — for bigger, sturdier metal-shell badges.
• Badge-A-Minit Deluxe — a classic 2.25" press, but the one listed is pre-owned.

Match the die size to the blanks you'll buy — parts aren't interchangeable between sizes.
