Windhover Report post Posted November 17, 2014 Hi all,I'm a newbie the forum and a novice leather worker. Just found the site and its amazing! I've been using the very basic punch and anvil tools from Tandy to set their snaps - lines 20 & 24 but would like to use a better tool. The Tandy/Craftool snap setting tool with its dies is the obvious choice, but its very expensive here in England. I've been looking at the Rochford Supply Press n Snap tool, (which a friend in the US can post to the UK for me). Can anyone confirm whether the set of dies which comes as standard with the tool will fit Line 20 + 24 snaps or will I have to buy other dies from Rochford? If I do have to buy other dies, can someone please advise me which ones/product number etc? Many thanks in anticipation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J Hayes Report post Posted November 18, 2014 Mine came with just the line 24 dies. I believe part 8656 will set the line 20 snaps. You should be able to email them to verify. It's a very nice press, perfect settings every time. I bout the mount as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billybopp Report post Posted November 18, 2014 The Tandy press and dies are currently on sale ... Might be worth a look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windhover Report post Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks billybopp - have seen them at the reduced prices here in England, and they are still getting on for £250 for the press + dies. I visited a friend in Pennsylvania 3 years ago - beautiful State. Stayed near Reading + toured around. Loved it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
