How to Fix a Weak Snap 

What I like about people and RU-vid is that people share these little things get us out of binds. Plus it's fascinating to see others sharing the same concerns. Lol. Thanks for taking the time out of your day for sharing! We muchly appreciate it.

RU-vid is the best media source in existence. Thank you for your insight on fixing snaps. I now have my winter jacket back

Just got a used moncler maya jacket and one of the snaps on the hood is weak. I needed this so much. Thank you!

Awesome trick. My son's brand new night suit with loose snap buttons on shirt can now be used. I thought my money is wasted but you just saved it🙂

Helped me repair a bad snap on my hiking backpack that would have made the rest of the hike pretty chitty without your advice. Your fix worked great. Thanks man! It worked so well that I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't think of it on my own......lol. Oh well. It holds like new, and that's all that matters. Thanks again for saving my arse. Really. I looked up your video mid-hike from my phone while out in a pretty remote area. Even had to hoof it to a high spot to get data reception. Used the plyer's on my multi-tool to bend and warp that little snap to my will. Muhahahaha! Got me back on the trail so I could make it home and type up a proper comment for your vid. Keep keeping it crazy my friend! 🙃

Thank you for this, you just made my day.

Thank you, worked very well on the snaps of my old jean shorts

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT solution... well done, Sir. Thank you. The sheath for my fishing knife can't be replaced (!!) and the snap had gotten weak where it no longer holds with the slightest tension. Even though i have a logical mind, i didn't think of this and you totally solved my problem. #MUCHgratitude (NOTE to others who try this: Matt warned me and i heeded his warning but make sure you squeeze your pliers sloooowly. i almost screwed up. the male side of the snap wasn't yielding to the pressure so i applied SLIGHTLY too much pressure when squeezing the pliers and i almost screwed up... and there is no going back if you ruin the snap!).

Thank you! Covid shrunk my leather racing pants and the snap was protesting. 😆

I saw my dad used to fix snap with this method when I was a kid. A classic way but always useful! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this tip! You saved me a lot of annoyance from a pair of boots I own with a snap that kept coming undone. Problem fixed!

Thank you! This is really helpful! I've got a canvas backpack and the snaps keep coming off whenever I carry something in it! I hope this trick works!

You saved my favorite shirt Ty!

Life saver. Had a article of clothing fail to hold, this might fix it it.

I will try this on my Eddie Bauer down coat that keeps me warm in MT freezing and below weather. I was prepared to replace the snaps but this is much better. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the tip. Yes please do a video on the choker/wrist cuff with eyelets.

Fixed my Levi jacket! Thanks Bud

thanks I used my jewlery pliers and gently squeezed the round male part! IT worked thanks I didnt think of the really small jewerly pliers before!!!

I just bought a vintage Brando style leather D pocket jacket and it has snap style belt loops on the back and front that keep unsnapping on me. I thought about searching for a tapered tool or punch that fits down into the male end of the snap and tapping on it to slightly flare it so that it snaps tighter but this technique looks like it would work also, I'll keep it in mind, thanks...

Perfect! I have a nice EDC pouch & a snap won’t stay coupled- too lose. The fix is in! I gotta say peeps we have it pretty good compared to way back when we can find a fix with a 2 minute Google or RU-vid search.

I've had a denim jacket for a few weeks. Several times at school, the cuff of the jacket would unbutton, leaving it hanging there. Thanks for the tutorial!

I have an old open face helmet that I'm custom painting for a friend, it needed a new sun visor so I ordered one on ebay it fits good but 1 snap keep coming off so I saw your video on youtube and I'm going to try your solution and I think it will work> Thanks for your time and video!!!!

Thank you I'll give this a try.

Thank you! It worked!

I sold a leather mini skirt with snap buttons in the front. Unfortunately, I didn't realise one of the snaps is loose and won't close. I'm going to try this method and re - sell. 👍🏾

Thank you for idea its work ....

Thank you Bro !

Thanks for sharing

Thanks buddy!

thank you!

Well I be damned, worked perfect. Had a pair of very expensive First Tactical pants, button never worked from the get go, now there good to go. Thanks dude!!!

Thankyou that'll work im crafty I like to make jewlery so i so I have the tools to do it

Excellent !! Thank-you !!!-- Now put a " Stay" on your watch band. Ha Ha

Thanx dog!

I have a jacket with this issue. I can do this to the Male part but the female part doesnt have enough exposed through the materia to do it with. Will this work only adjusting the Male end of the snap? Thanks

You said once around your wrist is usually twice around your neck lol it is a cool bracelet though :-)

Any suggestions for how to slightly loosen a metal snap? I have one that is too tight and i need to pull the material hard to undo it each time. So i want to make it looser so i dont rip or stretch the material. Thanks!

I have the same snap I had a leather worker put on my full grain leather purse, but it is so tight I can barely unsnap or snap it. How can I fix that? He told me it would loosen over time. Is that true? Thank you!

What do I do to stop it from making jiggling noise?

You had me until 02:01. And why would you squeeze the male fitting? Wouldn’t that make it smaller, hence: more loose?

snap button god

Probably use a vise instead of pliers

My snap was too strong and i want it to be soft, but how:(

how can i do this except on a wallet snap?

Make it raggedy

Twice around your waist once around your neck we know what you mean brother

I wish there wasnt so much doublespeak and stammering of words
