You might check this link: https://www.buckleguy.com/brass-snap-fasteners/. The Buckle Guy offers short, regular and long posts. When you click through each item, you will see the post length displayed. Hope this helps.

per everyones feedback on the buckle guy snaps and i tried out these line 24 https://www.buckleguy.com/line-24-snaps-cap-15mm-ring-socket-antique-brass-s15b51ln-solid-brass-100-per-bag/ 

they are not holding strong enough for what I want. I think the sailrite ones hold stronger. anyone else know of other snaps that hold stronger

Typically with the line 24 snaps there are two strengths of pull in their release to my knowledge.  

The standard snap has and can be seen inside the button,  Its also listed with some sellers.  In anycase standard strength has a brass wire ring placed inside. 

The heavier duty has a bronze wire ring for the locking aspect. With this heavier need nothing else matters except this different duty type. https://www.dotfasteners.com/durabletm-sockets-2121.html

There are other styles of these similar fasteners that require visual and directional movement to unsecure; referred to as pull the dot. They are much more expensive. One has to start digging deep in their internet site for the various products. 

I know there are many new companies that sell fasteners, some mentioned here I seen have some very cool designs, as well different purchase qty availabilities.   

This place in link is just one. I will say this is likely the oldest in this US in my opinion, or better yet they say 200 years. 

 

Have a good day

how can I look at my snaps and tell if they are bronze or brass?

sailrite has pull the dot and I ordered some of those yesterday to see if I like them or not

so you're saying the DOT durable will be the best snap ?

It will snap and release in only one direction. It takes a different setter and you have to make sure you have it lined up correctly also.
