Review on VRLEGEND Tactical Ratchet Buckle with Regular Design by Jarod Berthelson

I liked this belt the moment I received it. I love how you can easily adjust as your waist changes throughout the day. On day one I would give 5 stars. 8 months have passed and spring has arrived. I removed the buckle from the belt, processed it with WD40, nothing helped. Place the strap back onto the buckle and where it connects to the buckle the tab is closed but now the strap will pull out of the buckle as it is tightened. I'm wondering if I cut the length off when I buy it if the tongue doesn't hold up and slips out, but then there would be a guarantee and I could return it. It's been in daily use for 8 months, I'm not sure if that's the case. suitable for ratchet belt buckle or not. The belt itself is in perfect condition, very durable.
