Works great I did go online to website to view video on how to use but after that they were easy to use

I have used the plastic snaps in the past, but they were not sturdy enough for the current project. I like Dritz products so watched a video on using it and decided that it was just what I needed. The instructions in the package were much easier to use than watching the video. It works great and would recommend it for your heavier snap needs. Also making the purchase through Amazon is more cost effective than waiting for a sale at the local fabric store.

This one is NOT heavy duty. The tool and plastic pieces are CHEAP. Came with NO snaps for my small project. I ended up purchasing a different tool from a competitor. I should have known better as Amazon said it is a frequently returned product. Yes, I returned it in favor of the competitors ... which is ACTUALLY heavy duty. Competitors included metal pieces which work well. Competitors also came with plenty of snaps for my small project. Glad I'm able to return this peice of crap... Thanks Amazon!

Tried this out as soon as it was delivered.. I skipped a few steps so I t did not work well twice. Decided to really follow instructions STEP by STEP then it was successful .The blue purse in the photo , is the one that I messed up then finally got it right on the same purse which obviously is now ruined.After really paying attention to the details I separated the button parts from the other .This worked . I was able to set the snap as far as 4 inches by folding the fabric slowly to fit into the pliers. Hope this helps other buyers

Before I ordered this product I read many of the reviews. Several were very negative but I bought it anyway. Glad I did, it works great. It is certainly not for heavy duty snap rivets but for light or medium duty material it is more than adequate. I had no trouble applying snap rivets to my golf cart weather inclosure which is made of medium weight Sunbrella material.

Once you figure out how to use these pliers and their fasteners they work fine. The instructions in the packaging were poor. The online videos were unclear which fittings to use for the Dritz pliers and which snap fastener parts and pieces are the correct mates. I ruined 3 snaps before figuring how to do it.The Dritz #981-1 snaps work well with 0.060 inch thick cloth material. There is no need to first punch a hole (as stated in the instructions) before applying these snaps to the cloth. These snaps hold tightly in operation, and actually are too heavy duty for low strength fabric materials (might tear the fabric when unsnapping). These snaps would be like the ones found on high school football jackets.I also used these pliers with the Dritz #5-3 heavy duty snaps on the same 0.060" material. These snaps require a hole to be placed first before applying the snaps to the cloth. Again the instructions were poor for these snaps. These snaps require use of more fittings on the pliers; more time to do the job. These snaps hold as well as the #981-1 snaps but they require more time to do. I will use the #981-1 snaps as the preferred model.

Right out of the package I did not get all the correct parts that are suppose to come with the tool. I got two cone punches, and no cutting die. Both are needed to punch a hole in the fabric to put the snap through.It does a really good job securing the snap pieces to each other. The cap and socket, and the stud and post felt tightly held together. But when it come time to actually snap top and bottom together that is were we have trouble.The metal splitting punch pushes the post out in a flower petal like pattern that spills over the socket so the snap itself can not secure. ( picture 1) I resolved this by getting out the ol' hammer and snap setter to push down the edges. (picture 2)This tool is a good addition if you already have a cutting tool, and a hammer, and setter. As a stand alone it did not do the job.

I needed a fastener to put in some steel snaps through leather straps about 3mm thick. I read all the reviews and searched through the fasteners listed on Amazon. I only need this for occasional use and didn't want to spend a lot. So, I decided on this one . I must say it worked very well the first time putting in the plated steel snaps through leather. These snaps require a firm squeeze to properly crimp the post. This fasteners held up without any bending in the handles. Pretty good for a first use. Comes with instructions on the back of the card, that may be a little hard to follow unless you've done this before. I just had to make sure which half of the snap goes into the plastic platform, and when to use the red adapter. Like I said I'm a first time user, and I was able to figure it out. Product works, my snaps are all holding, and I'm happy with this fastener.
