Thank you for viewing! To ensure a smooth and peaceful transaction, please read my profile before considering a purchase. Thank you very much! (^ ^) I recently bought this at a birthday shop because my belt kept coming loose. I opened it to check the buckle mechanism, but the buckle was too stiff for me due to my tenosynovitis, and it seemed like it would hurt me more. So I bought a different type. I think it should be fine if you have normal strength!
