  2. Please see https://www.barrykingtools.com/handtools.htm and look at the Snap Setter
    Line 20, Line 24   $30.00
    A self centering pin with the body to fit both male and female snap heads.  Makes it a breeze to set snaps.

    These are what I  use to set all my snaps.  Low cost. And the barrel lets you apply pressure to the joint before the first hammer hit.  Works like a charm.

     

     

    BTW I use a 1/4" stainless steel (4" by 4" square) to slide into tight places, like when making journals

    <<<snip>>>Hobbyists who price too low are one of the bigger obstacles for people who want to rely on leatherwork as a profession.  <<<snip>>>

     

    Andy Stasiak once told our leather group: "The hobbyist harms three people when the hobbyist prices his leather craft items unrealistically low: (1) You harm the hobbyist seller who make little or no profit to continue his craft; (2) You harm the buyer who thinks he will be able to continue to purchase products, from the hobbyist, at low prices: and (3) You harm the professional leather worker because the unrealistic price has uneducated the buyer into expecting all professional leather workers price match the hobbyist."
