I use the machine in youth work and it's perfect for that. Robust thanks to the metal parts and not too heavy.

The construction of the button machine is very simple and it is also easy to use. You only need a little force to change the individual punches, as they are held by a magnet. So far I have used 80g paper and photo paper for the first buttons and it works wonderfully.
Good quality. As a gift for teenagers👍
for this money, what is included in the package beats everything else I have found on the market. but the quality is not 5 stars. as another comment says, the press is only for home use. the magnets from the molds have play and sometimes jump. some of the included plastic parts are cut more coarsely and must be "trimmed" so that they can be extracted from the mold after pressing. the way the lever is operated is more difficult for a person without more developed muscles. however, it does the job for what I need and I'm glad I bought it.
Advantages: Two Matrices with a diameter of 25 and 58 mm. Matrices are only on magnets, they are easy to change but sometimes they fall out easily. Disadvantages: Worse mechanism between pry bar and press die. According to the instructions, the machine is only for home use. It is not possible to press 58 mm plates with a metal base. For these plates, a spacer with a thickness of approx. 3.6 mm must be inserted into matrix B, which, unlike the competition, is not included in the package. I solved it with a water seal of the required dimensions.
Making buttons with the button maker is very easy. It is operated with a manual lever and a suitable form that requires little manual skill. Just get creative and show your friends your first professional button!
