Heavy-Duty Snaps

[AlainaZ]

Can anyone recommend a heavy-duty snap? I just bought some snaps from Buckleguy but they aren't anywhere near strong enough and I don't want to have to keep buying samples. This is for a body harness (as well as motorcycle gear) and will take a moderate amount of stress. 

Thanks in advance!

Look up heavy duty D.O.T snaps. Lol I think that's right. They are fairly high priced.

With some snaps hitting the center piece harder will make it harder to pull apart.

You may get them from certain dealers too.

Hmmm.... Will standard snap setting tools a person already has work with these, or  will they require the pricey tools listed with them?

I use standard Tandy style setting tools for Dot fasteners.

Another fastner you might look into. Is the LOXX fasteners. Idk if you can use something like them. But they sure are nice.

I appreciate knowing that. I've struggled with Hobby Lobby level snaps and wondered about better snaps.
