Make for the price in the first place a solid impression that one can not expect miracles because now is probably obvious to everyone, even you should examine the edges to splinter, so you do not accidentally produced a scratch. One shortcoming, however, is what I now particularly noticed when using the 5 Spanner couples, the clamping force can be very fast and strong for. The metal spring acts now after less than a month as worn. As naturally expected which increases the more often and be used. Fit or not (which here quite solid and accurate is), but the function was supposed to be now, "tighten" the good Leather Treads to. I would therefore advise against the use in the favorite shoes, especially when such are tightened more. For shoes that linger most of the time in the closet they may well suffice.
