3 Heavy Duty Snap Tools, Metal

I am not a huge crafter, but when I need just a few snaps this came to my rescue, I keep a few extras

I used these on a vinyl boat cover I made. I only needed the tops; the boat already has snap bottoms installed.After attaching the first couple snap covers, we made the process easier by using a hole punch intended for leather work to make the hole the shank of the snap goes through. With lighter material, that may not be needed.

I’ve purchase and used these snaps before. I usually buy them at JoAnn’s, but needed some for a project I had, and ordered a few different ones from Amazon.I am an old pro at snaps, and use these for all kinds of DIY projects. I built a greenhouse out of PVC and made a snap on cover using these heavy duty snaps. I use a manual snap setter tool and hammer, and I can install them pretty quickly. These hold well and last a long time. Remember that your snap is only as strong as the fabric or material that holds it. Sometimes you have to reinforce or use extra layers if you use a heavy duty snap.I love these things, and I’d make this purchase again.

Got these to 'repair' a thermal lined sweatshirt the zipper broke on. Haven't done that project as of 3/24 yet, but did use them to snap a piece of webbing to a soft sided cooler bag and these worked perfectly to replace the cruddy velcro circle it came with. They snap firmly and securely and suit my needs.I installed these with the 'BTSKY 11pcs DIY Leather Craft Tool Die Punch Snap Kit Rivet Setter Tool with Base for Punch Hole and Install Rivet Button' tool set here on Amazon. There's a lot of these universal tool sets btw, I chose that one because it was the cheapest one with Prime at the time I needed it. (Don't judge me. lol) The other selling point on that particular tool was the separate round anvil was smooth for snaps. The largest cup on the strip of metal was the right size for the decorative caps on these though, so any of these tools sold here "should" work for these snaps. I used the back side of the metal 'cup strip' to hammer in the bottom part of the snaps.I Strongly Advise people who've never done this before like me: Get some extra snaps just incase you ruin a couple of the posts getting a feel for what you're doing. I was trying to install these snaps in too much foam at first. Ruined two this way because I was in denial. (foam squishes so it should work! Wrong! lol) Ruined two other posts: one, figuring out where to hammer the flat side, and one trying to install these through two layers of webbing. I ended up getting the feel for it, and am pretty confident I can install these in the future without too many snap post casualties. If dritz sells just bottom posts, let me know. I can salvage the ones I messed up!Hope this helps someone from making my same mistakes. There's some good YouTube videos showing how to use the tools, and despite watching them I still needed to get a feel for installation.

The caps of these snaps have inconsistent diameters which makes fitting into the tool a challenge. Some cannot be held by the tool resulting in acrobatics to install. These are also very heavy duty snaps which are difficult to open once snapped. Unpainted "heavy duty" snaps of the same size from the same company fit better in the tool and are more easily opened.

Would like more snaps per package

I've used snaps for a long time. I've learned some are soft metals and easy to mess up. These are always fail proof. I've never failed to install these. When I buy snaps, I always look for Dritz brand.

Without the special snap tool these were hard but not impossible to put on triple layer denim. They look good, but for most applications I’ll stick to the sew on snaps.

Perfect snaps for my jacket. Came in reasonable time. Good instructions. Very pleased with result

I’m sure it would be a good product if it came with all of the parts. I just opened it and it came with no studs so it’s absolutely useless.

I planed on using these to replace some snaps on some sports equipment but they will not last. They are just cheap stamped metal

Work well and stay snapped!!

Item is good quality however one package was short a couple pieces.
