DanaStanley Report post Posted March 26, 2022 Wondering if line 20 and 24 snaps come with different size stems for thicker material? I made a couple magazine pouches with 8-9 oz Veg tan and had to skive around the hole to get a good set on the naps! I had some snaps from Walmart and some from Amazon, and the stem lengths were different! is there a company that offers them in a different lengths? Also do you hand set or use a press?

Dwight Report post Posted March 26, 2022 For years I had the best little hand press . . . bought at Hobby Lobby . . . and it finally broke. Have purchased 3 since then . . . they were all junk. Just whack em with the mallet and go on . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ButtonLady Report post Posted March 26, 2022 Greetings, fellow Masshole! Assuming you're talking about "industrial"-type ring spring snaps: Post width should always be the same. Extra long post lengths are available for #24. Scovill DOT makes an extra short #20 post, but not extra long. You need better snaps! I have Fasnap, DOT, and Osborne on hand —I'll mail some samples if you provide your address via message. Not really familiar with other types of snaps, but working on it. I set snaps with a press, either Fasnap PM5 or Osborne (taking a break from doing it right now, in fact). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brooks125 Report post Posted April 1, 2022 Sailrite offers a 5/16 ferrule, which is longer than the standard. I use them for attaching a stiffener to the thumbreak. Until then, it was a lot of cursing and wasted caps! https://www.sailrite.com/Snap-Fastener-Button-Silver-5-16-Barrel-Nickel-Key-A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
