Works perfectly without damaging button holes,
I have used the this product for years with good results.  If you forget and dry your favorite jeans on high and shrink them, this device will save your pants!<br />It is plastic so care has to be taken to not snap the plastic. Here is how to do it.<br />1) wet the waistband thoroughly, front and back, it should be fully wet throughout<br />2) attach device to button side of pants, do NOT over tighten, it does not have to be super tight<br />3) use the size adapters to get close to the waist size, you don't want to have to turn the green screw a long way<br />4) make sure the side opposite the screw is completely covered by the waistband, you want all the waistband to be stretched across the entire waistband<br />5) GENTLY tighten the green screw until all the slack is out of the waistband, hold for 20 seconds, the band will start to stretch<br />6) continue to use the screw to stretch the waistband GENTLY, if the screw is hard to turn, WAIT for 10 seconds.<br />7) if you have more than 8 turns on the screw threads showing, STOP and add an adapter rather than hyper extend the screw handle, yes you will have loosen what you have so far to use another short adapter<br />8) repeat to tighten, watch for a max of 8 turns and stop at your desired stretch point for the waistband<br />9) let the waistband dry completely! Leave the expander in until you want to use the pants. This will hold the stretch.<br />HTH
