- Is the GEARZAAR button maker worth it?
- It is a cheap way to get three die sizes and 300 parts at once. Expect a learning curve: owners report a high rate of failed buttons until pressure and alignment are right.
- What button sizes does it make?
- It makes 1-inch, 1.25-inch and 2.25-inch buttons using the three included dies. The 2.25-inch size is the one most people use for photo buttons.
- What comes in the box?
- The press, three dies, 300 button parts, 10 keychain badges, 10 bottle openers and 10 flat badges. You supply your own printed designs.
- Does it need power?
- No. It is a manual lever press, so it works anywhere without electricity or an air compressor.
- Why do my buttons come out misaligned?
- Usually the shell is not seated flat in the die or the lever is pressed unevenly. Center the graphic, seat the shell fully, and press in one firm stroke.
- How does it compare with a single-size press?
- It covers three button sizes and includes 300 parts, where most rivals make one size and sell parts separately. The trade-off is that owners report more failed buttons than they expected.
