Pull-The-Dot Snap Question

[Dwight]

Triage 1998, . . . there is a store called Hobby Lobby, . . . many are in Ohio. In those I have been to, . . . go to their sewing section where they sell scissors, tapes, and that sort of stuff.

Look for a tool that looks vaguely like a pair of pliers with blue handles, . . . price will be in the $25 range, . . . there should also be a small assortment of snaps that is in the blister pack with it.

Look for a small red circle of plastic on the crimp head, . . . it is for the line 24 size snaps. Don't waste your money on the tool that does all the different sizes, . . . you want the one that only does the 24 size.

It is by far and away the very best tool for setting snaps on holsters, . . . straps, . . . etc. Mine is several years old, . . . will be replacing it in the near future, . . . only paid $10 at Wally world for mine, . . . but it has done a BUNCH of snaps.

May God bless,

Dwight

Quick question about Pull-the-dots and line 24 snaps. How are you installing them? Is there a special tool or press that you use to install them?

I tried every tool imaginable. This is what I do now, and it works awesome.

My hole-to-hole measurement for the snap straps in 4-3/8". I also wet form around a double layer belt blank
