Here's a 2 minute tool tip to help folks set snaps better. So many folks struggle with crushing the posts of snaps and waste lots of time and material.
Thanks. For the tip. Appreciate that you are always trying to help the common man/woman. You make it fun. There is nothing worse than getting frustrated and giving up on the hobby.
🤯🤯🤯🤯 I've boogered up a few projects, trying to set snaps (and having the usual issues - post setting crooked, etc). I can't wait to try this tip! Thanks for sharing that with us.
I bought the Barry kind like 24 snap setter and still have issues. I’m going to give this a try. Are you not supposed to use the little cupped out anvil for the round side of the snaps?
I can’t wait to give this a try. I’ve destroyed more snaps than I can count. I even bought snap pliers that was a waste of time. Thanks for the tip. Another question, I have been using thicker leather lately and was wondering where I could find heavy duty snaps with longer posts for the thicker leather. Any help would be appreciated.
I didn't even realize this was a problem anyone has, I've set literally thousands of snaps, probably close to tens of thousands and I've never had this issue, and I use the cheapest snap setter I could find at the time lol, but hey, if it helps others then keep the tips coming! Maybe I'm just lucky and I've got the perfect size snap to the leather I'm using? I'd assume the post would move like that if your leather is too thin for the post size you're using?
Wow, to think I've been doing this for awhile now, after I had to do an "out in the field" repair shed hunting, all I had on me was a screwdriver so... the rest is history.
