Hi All, Just getting into leatherwork and really enjoying it. Have seen a few videos of people using the press from tandy for setting rivets and snaps. They look good but the dies are super expensive. Was trawling around looking for alternatives when i stumbled across these presses just called "universal hand press" in the descriptions http://www.greengrizzly.co.uk/en/hand-preses/738-universal-hand-press-for-grommets-rivets-press-fasteners-eyelets-aax.html and they are much more reasonably priced. (about £50 for the press and around £10 for the dies) Thing is i can't find much about them. All I can see is they are made by micron (although they don't list these specific models) and i;ve seen a few people using them on youtube but no real detailed info. Has anyone used one and are they any good? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Has Anyone Used One Of These Presses?

Thanks for the input all. Works out at a bit more to get the same dies i was going to get by the time i factor in shipping so I think i'll hang fire for a bit to see what dies I'm likely to get the most use out of and save a few more pennnies. I don't want to buy something and find myself quickly wanting to upgrade
