A few years back I ordered a one inch button maker. I love it and never had any problems with it. So for my son's birthday I ordered the 2.25 button maker as he is an artist and will come in handy making his art into pins. I am sure he will love his too. The only thing I was mad at myself as I didn't pay attention and didn't get the bundle with the cutter, so I had to order separate. So, make sure the bundle you get has all the items you need. The quality of the button maker is supreme, very well made and good quality. I always say ....you get what you pay for.
