![]() With that each of our projects today maybe different yet use this same fastener. I think we all can agree this is the holding power so whatever we can do to get it done with one pull or one squeeze all the better. These presses of many kinds here in discussion form the better roll over. One is the part in the center, particularly left photo can benefit from a more consistant press, and likely obtained in your search. In looking at the photos there are a couple critical points. If considered, the box of peices and snaps could be assebled anywhere with this setup. In my case i rather move myself than drag yards and yards of canvas. The company does make a table/bench mount holder for these press n snap tools also. So I can say for mobile applications anywhere in the shop or elsewhere this press n snap tool is truly a precision instrument and excelent for the durable style snap. So have to stick with commenting on whats working in front of me. These at the present im not familar with. These I also found interesting and they may require a special die and anvil set to protect the coolness. There are other super cool designed snap fasteners. Fasteners as these are seriously everywhere in our lives and with a bit different twist or turn. I keep 2 press n snap and I simply couldn't and more importantly would not work marine canvas without these. Respectfully these also get leather usage, but im most familar with boxes n boxes of I think a top shelf product, line 20 from Scovill for my main purpose. At the moment I'm leaning towards getting either the Weaver Little Wonder or the Buckleguy press but was hoping someone might be able to give me some guidance? I'm looking for whichever one is the easiest to adjust and is most compatible with line 20 snaps. I was wondering if getting a proper press will eliminate the problem since it should be able to be much more consistent with pressure/etc? If so, which press would you recommend? I've been looking at Weaver, Buckleguy, Goldstar, and the Pres-N-Snap. ![]() Anyway, please see the attached picture which shows a Scovill snap that has a shorter 3mm post but still is pushing up in to the cap. I've even tried short post snaps with 3mm posts as well as longer traditional post snaps. all of them end up with the same problem. ![]() I'm starting to think that setting by hand on such thin leathers is just not a good idea? I've tried all kinds of snaps - Tandy, buckleguy, goldstar, Springfield leather, Scoville, etc, etc. So far I've been setting by hand using a maul and buckle guy snap setter and I would estimate that 4-5 snaps end up having to be taken off and re-done because I can't stand the indentation. In particular, I've been having trouble with the cap side of the snap and the post getting pushed up in to the cap, causing an ugly indentation in the snap. Hey guys, I've been having a really tough time setting line 20 snaps in to 5oz leathers (1.85-2mm thick). ![]()
