Tried at least 50 times to make this work following instructions carefully. I took it back to the store and the sales clerk couldn’t even make it work.
Do not buy! Waste of money.

Do not buy! Mine wouldn't grip the film leader properly and the plastic housing parts that hold the film grabber tongues fell apart. The whole thing is so flimsy. I've used this film retriever only once on a film and that was today. The film grabber tongue parts are of the slippery plastic type, not metal, which make it difficult to grab the film leader. After several tries (20 times?), I discovered that I could get the film leader out by sliding the button up and down; the three little notches in the bottom tongue acted like a ratchet and will notch into the film holes and pull the film leader back out a little at a time. I used to have a metal version of the film retriever to professionally retrieve film leaders from hundred of film rolls that I've loaded from a film loader 20 years ago. So I know how to use one. This one is so bad. Don't buy this one.
