Members Dwight Posted January 24, 2012 Members Report Posted January 24, 2012 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 Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
Members Shooter McGavin Posted January 24, 2012 Members Report Posted January 24, 2012 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. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=33907 Quote Zlogonje Gunleathers
