TIP: Use a screw clamp instead of a hammer! Achieve PERFECT RESULTS!

Okay I wasn't planning on reviewing this product because I read all the other reviews and bought it outright expecting to mess up most of them and end up with one to have correct installation . For me, repairing one pair of pants would be worth the cost of the entire package. However, now I'm writing with an ad for anyone who wants to buy them: HOW TO INSTALL IT PERFECTLY! After sensing how difficult it is to align, let alone evaluate, a switch and button without damaging them, I began brainstorming the best options. I knew there had to be a better way. Then it hit me. which I use to keep things straight when working on a DIY project. C clip! The C-clamp makes the procedure extremely easy and painless. You can get them for a few bucks at any hardware store. I took some photos showing how to use it for her. My steps were: 1. Position the button and click where you want it. 2. Squeeze them to push the nail through the material so it sticks out (this will hold everything in place while you pinch it)3. Install the C-Clip. Lay the button on one side and hold the button straight until you tighten the clip just enough to hold it in place4. Now tighten the clamp just enough until it becomes much more difficult to tighten. Don't over tighten or the knob will bend (I did that but it's a 5. Remove the clip and voila! If this product came with a C clip it would be 5 stars. :P
