sorting out which snaps/press studs go with which hand setters?

Recommended Posts

I have a set of hand setters that didn't come with any instructions, however I noted the numbers on them and have sorted out what sizes each should work with, but I can't find anywhere that has a full list or chart of what number for each type of setter goes with which size and type of snaps, in case I wanted to use different snaps than these.

Also I have some snaps that are 8.5mm and can't find anywhere that sells setters for that size. Any ideas of where to find them, or even what words/numbers to search for? 

Thanks!

What brand are they to start with? If you look at Tandy they have sets and show how to use.

I'm not sure of the brand. They're not Tandy as that seems to be a different system (I'm in the UK, so sizes are listed in metric).  

So #633 setter goes with 12.5mm s spring snaps, #201 with 10mm ring spring snaps,  #831 with 15 or 17mm s spring snaps. that's what came in my kit.

Contact Le Prevo in Newcastle and ask them. They just might know something
