What Tool Do I Need to Install Plastic Snaps?

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL PRESS

If you want to use your press for different fasteners (snaps, rivets, eyelets, etc), a multi-functional press is needed, along with the dies to set plastic snaps.

Choose from:

• KX8J pro-handheld press

• KX-T2 pro-standup press

• DK93 table press with DK93-KX adapter base

Then, add the dies to set plastic snaps in the same size as the snaps.

Also Recommended:

• Plastic snap removal dies to quickly and safely remove problem snaps without damaging your fabric
• A hole maker for snap placement:
• 2.5mm hole cutting dies (for sturdy fabric, vinyl, leather)
• 1.5mm hole punch dies (for heavy webbing or dense material)
• Hand piercing awl (sufficient for thin fabrics)
• Color sampler charts

SINGLE-FUNCTION PLIERS

Works only with plastic snaps. No frills. Recommended for occasional, non-commercial use.
