It may be plastic but definitely has its advantages
I used this stretcher for the last 3 1/2 years and it's still working great. I went online to buy another for a second home and saw the lifetime guaranteed wood ones. I was going to try the wood and then saw that you had to button or hook the waist and then stretch the pants and I could just see the buttons or hook breaking when stretched more than an inch, This plastic stretcher has stretched my pants beyond two inches and does not require buttoning when stretching,<br />I often wondered if this plastic stretcher would break but it has held up for me and I really stretch out my pant waists.
