What sizes does the 3-in-1 make?

It presses three button sizes, typically 1-inch, 1.25-inch and 2.25-inch, using the included interchangeable dies. Check the listing for the exact die set shipped.

Does it come with button parts?

Sets usually include a starter pack of button shells and pin backs, but the quantity is small. Buy refills in the size you plan to use most.

Is it worth it over a single-size press?

If you want more than one badge size, the 3-in-1 saves buying separate machines. If you only make one size, a single-size press is simpler and takes less room.

How much space does it need?

It is a benchtop press roughly a foot square, and the lever needs clearance above it. Plan on a sturdy table and storage space between projects.

How does it compare with a cheaper plastic button maker?

The steel frame and dies take repeated pressing better than all-plastic kits, which flex and crack under the lever. Plastic kits are lighter to store and fine for a few dozen buttons.
