## Description

Review: Bought 8/20, broke 2/22. Really lousy for a heavy buckle that falsely appeared to be durable. - 2/18/22 Update: I bought in August of 2020. It appears to be very strong, but it has already broken. Years ago when I bought l bought belts, they lasted for many years, especially any belts I owned which were wide and had a heavy buckle, such as this. I guess inferior metal is used these days. Price was cheap, so I didn't knock it to one star, because I got over a year for cheap, but I'd rather pay a little more for many years of use! 8/24/2020 I'm rewriting my review. I was very disappointed because I couldn't put it in my belt which had it's original sown-in belt buckle break. I expected a piece that would go through one side of the buckle, then through the belt, and screw in the other side of the buckle. But upon intensive searching on desertcart, I couldn't find anything of that nature. I felt like rating it a 1, because it gave no indication that this could not be done. But since I could find none that do this, I suppose it's just what would be expected. I expected to be able to put it in my sown belt (as opposed to snaps to hold the buckle in), but cannot. Now I've found a work-around: desertcart "Tandy Leather Screw Post Open Back 1/8" (0,3 cm) Black Plate 10/pk 1296-04" is around $7, and solves this problem. Just ordered them. I can cut the threads out, then use these fasteners, and it should work just fine. (Others have done the same, as I found out in various fastener reviews.) Since there is a solution, and I've looked at many other buckles, this one seems as good as any, better than most, and a much better price than most. As such it deserves 5 stars. (Originally I was going to rate it much lower, since it seemed unusable to me, and I expected it to be used on my kind of belt.) I have another identical belt (different color) that needs to be fixed, and for the same reason. That "Screw Post Open Back..." is a 10-pack, so it's enough to fix both belts with plenty left over, so my belt other belt can be fixed for the outstanding price of this buckle alone.
Review: Nice buckle - Works as expected
