This is what I meant by twisty type. I use this press for buttons and snaps and it does just that but excels at that. Keeping it on a piece of 2x4 allows to move it to a machine which is being used at the moment as well.

 

I have this hand press too. Do you know if there are dies for the press snaps (Made by Prym) in the top picture?

Long answer:

I have several sets of dies together with a 1000 bag of of snaps in several sizes that I bought from a factory on the Old Continent through a friend. They do not sell to the public, but I bought their overstock when he was cleaning his working area for a new product. I could have bought them from Ali express as well, but I was already getting a shipment from that factory, so things were not adding any shipping cost. Also getting correct dies from China takes a lot of patient back and forth to make sure dimensions are correct, their communication skills are not top notch, even if their product may be.
