Wykoni Report post Posted July 30, 2020 Have a problem setting snap dots, 24 line specifically. I tend to bend the shaft, they set but a bit crooked. Give me advice on this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stelmackr Report post Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Please see https://www.barrykingtools.com/handtools.htm and look at the Snap Setter Line 20, Line 24 $30.00 A self centering pin with the body to fit both male and female snap heads. Makes it a breeze to set snaps. These are what I use to set all my snaps. Low cost. And the barrel lets you apply pressure to the joint before the first hammer hit. Works like a charm. BTW I use a 1/4" stainless steel (4" by 4" square) to slide into tight places, like when making journals Edited July 30, 2020 by stelmackr added info Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpymann Report post Posted July 30, 2020 If they are too long that may happen as well. try trimming the shaft a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
