Review on πŸ“Œ Automated Pin Dispenser: Pintastic by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I wanted this to be my favorite sewing accessory.

I bought this a month ago and finally found it to sew. I bought an extra pack of needles (in addition to the ones I already had) to actually use this Pintastic. I was so excited to get the batteries and get this thing working. However, I've never seen it work?! Doesn't spin? Upon closer inspection, it turns out that something is not there to attach the drum to the rotating mechanism?! Mine isn't plugged in, but apparently it should be. In theory, this is an incredibly nifty little pin dispenser, if you can get one, that's not broken where I have a major design flaw! Anyone who thought that a tiny piece of plastic could handle the rotation this little thing had to handle clearly didn't think it through! At least I think it should be attached to a metal axle. Mine never turned so this is my guess after watching video after video?! Little did I know that my window to return this item would be exactly 1 month from the date of my order, otherwise I would have taken it out of the box and tried it before it expired (3 days ago) and before I took everything out damn pens are from individual pens that came in my very large pack of pens. Now I have to take these pins and put them back in the pins where they came from! I SO WANTED THIS TO BE MY FAVORITE DEVICE BUT SEWING THAT ALSO TAKEN ME VERY OUT! Save your money until they fix the design flaw, it will save you a lot of headache!
