Press For Line 24 Snaps?

[paprhangr]

Gold star press ( and pricey tandy) requires a set of dies for each size rivet or snap.

I have 8mm for the small rivets, 9 mm die set for med to large rivet.

Dies for each line 20 and line 24 snaps

I have read all posts on this question. Either I am slow or I am not seeing the answer I need. I am willing to buy the gold star press. But I can't figure out which die set is equivalent to the line 20 and 24 snaps from their list of dies... Please someone just tell me which ones to order. This is an older post so I hope to get a response. Thank you all this seems like a get resource for information.

I didn't read all the posts, but I have a Little Wonder press from Weaver and it sets line 20 and 24 snaps wonderfully easy. Also have dies to set jiffy rivets (never a bent shaft), 104 rivets, and hole punches. Great press - love it! A huge time saver on large projects. --John

Did Tandy change their Line 24 snaps?  I always use a concho screwed into the male Tandy Line 24 snap but have used my Goldstar reliably for many years to set the female. I do have to grind a bit off the posts to make for a better fit. Yesterday I had to set a standard male snap cover and I crushed half a dozen male snaps on the Goldstar before I realized that it is the wrong length for the Tandy snap! The Tandy is 4.55 mm and the snaps I have purchased elsewhere are 4.22!! I guess the extra length makes fitting the screws a bit easier (I grind my own down to the correct size but the die crushes the snap before the  die post reaches the snap post.

Thanks!
