I have arthritis in my hands abd not enough hand strength to do up my boots by myself. I used to beg others to tighten my boots for me. Embarrassing when skiing by yourself. This item gives me the independence to get my boots tight by myself.

There were often times when my boots just didn't feel tight enough, but I was unable to make them tighter on my own. With this wonderful leverage device, I'm good to go! So excited! This works on any size buckle as well. My previous one would not work on new boots.
