loose fit due to poor and imprecise design

Received my buckle today and after waiting over a week I was happy to use it now. but i was disappointed but as soon as i took it out of the box the first thing i noticed was that it was poorly constructed. The fit is not very accurate. When the buckle is closed, it dangles and makes an annoying rumble. I attribute this to poor design and construction, I assume the size was not pre-made to make a nice and snug fitting buckle. Regardless, I used it anyway. I have used it for a handmade leather bag with an adjustable shoulder strap to carry books and things in college classes when we return to campus in the future. There is a second issue here, but I think it is related to the loose fitting issue. When I had the strap ready to test I loaded the bag with my laptops, laptop and textbook and after a minute of use with a load the buckle came loose, it slipped out due to a loose fit when I put the weight in the Thread. Now after some testing I have come to the conclusion that a weight of five pounds or more will cause the buckle to fail. So overall I can't use it for what I wanted and honestly I don't think it will be reliable for other purposes. Having previously purchased items from craftmemore they were of great quality. I'm very disappointed considering it was $10 which I basically threw away. I don't know if that one buckle was defective or if it's compatible with all buckles of this type, no matter if I won't be buying it again I would caution other buyers to buy with caution or look for another buckle. A star behind the buckle looks good compared to others I've looked at but it also doesn't look like the product pictured, instead of dull gray bronze the buckle is in real shiny almost solid black but in the end the look doesn't matter if the shutter doesn't work.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Disappear
