How do you install Pull the Dot Snaps?

Recommended Posts

I am going to order some Pull the Dot snaps to use on holsters and was wondering how they are installed. I know how the four pieces go together, but what is done to permanently attach them? Is there a tool I need to buy?

Tempusfugit. The link I have attached is for an Australian company and is for illustration purposes. I am sure someone will be able to direct you to a local company that deals with the same sort of stuff.

Go to the hand tools link at the bottom. Product 708A is the hand die to make the holes to attach the clinch plate

Product 952 is for the post/stud and

Product 895 is to then attach the clinch plate for the post.

All of these are whacked with a mallet.

I have both versions of the kick press but to be honest IMO it is just easier to use the hand dollies.

the ones I have are the same size as Line 24 Snaps. They work perfectly in my hand press with Line 24 setting dies

Tempus,

Check a local or close Tandy store for snap & rivet anvil (8056-00) and Line 24 snap setter (8058-00). The best option is the Deluxe Snap-All Setter (8105-00) that will prepare you for any common snap or rivet need except copper rivets & burrs. You might also call Ron Stuhlman at Hide Crafter (888-263-5277) to see what he might be able to supply. Hope this helps.

Indy :cheers:
