Ring snaps

[NatesLeatherGds]

Hi all. I've done a bunch of testing with these. Easy application, strong enough for light stuff, 200+ snaps, no issues (tedium). Anyone have experience with these? Good or bad. Thank you.

Nope I've never seen them before. In your 3rd pic, how does them work without a hole thru the leather? What am I missing here? 

Thanks.

^ yes. Surprisingly workable.

These snaps have been around for a long, long, time.  They were most often used by home seamstresses on home made clothing.  I remember them from well over 70 years ago.  Once in a while, one might come apart, but it was due to faulty setting, a little crooked, or misaligned so a couple prongs missed being seated in the mating ring.

This is a good reminder for thin leathers, not just textiles.

very similar to the snaps on a western shirt.
