Members Icarus Posted January 14, 2016 Members Report Posted January 14, 2016 Anyone here use a press to punch holes, set rivets/snaps/etc? Anyone have a preferred manufacturer/retailer? Quote
Members Wicked Welts Posted January 14, 2016 Members Report Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Not yet but I'm getting closer to that point and after searching for this topic here I discovered that at the entry-level point, many use the Goldstar type press as found here -> https://goldstartool.com/Grommet_-and-_Snap_Press_Machine_-_One_Set_Of_Dies_-snaps-_buttons-_rivets.html Edited January 14, 2016 by Wicked Welts Quote
Members billybopp Posted January 14, 2016 Members Report Posted January 14, 2016 I have the Tandy press and several dies that I bought when they were on sale. I do not punch holes with it, but it did convince me that it's the way to do for setting rivets, snaps and grommets. I so wish I had seen the Goldstar first. It's much cheaper, as are the dies. Many on here have reported good luck with the Goldstar. There's a thread about it on here somewhere ... http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=51602&hl=%20goldstar%20%20press&page=1 Bill Quote
