General Tools 1265 Snap Fastener Kit with 6 Fasteners

I just used this kit to add 4 snaps to the gussets of my $1500+ Langlitz motorcycle jacket. I never liked the way that the gussets just hung out so I added snaps. This kit had almost everything I needed besides a hole punch for the leather. I used the #4 setting on the leather punch and took a deep breath and punched a hole in a jacket I had waited nearly 6 months to get. The snaps were the easy part. Putting them together ahead of time made things go faster and prevented mistakes as the parts are slightly confusing. I put 4 snaps on my jacket in under a 1/2 hour and I have near zero leather working experience at all. Some tips. Hammer a little at a time. I was concerned that the snaps would come off the thick cowhide of my jacket so the first snap I put on I hammered the heck out of it and punched the tabs right through the snap. Hold everything in place and hammer a little and then check. You will need something solid under the anvil. I used a dumbell that was easy to get inside my jacket for the hammering process. The snaps themselves are very strong and don't come unsnapped without a good bit of effort. This is what I wanted. On a side note the snaps match nearly perfectly the existing snaps on my jacket. I opted for the silver snaps rather than the standard brass ones to match the chrome on my Harley. These snaps work well for thick leather. I ordered the thick cowhide option for my jacket and the advisor on the phone said "you will never break this jacket in". He was right for the most part but these snaps had absolutely no problem getting through the really thick leather.

This product was perfect for me since I don't know how to sew and needed to install a button on some pajama pants. On this Amazon page if you scroll down there are short videos for how to use this product. The instructions will tell you which metal pieces go together but not exactly what to do. Basically you will sandwich one piece of fabric with two pieces of metal, hit it with a hammer, and then repeat with the other piece of fabric. Takes literally 30 seconds to do and all you need is a hard surface and a hammer. Any hammer will do.

Only needed a few snaps to repair a robe so this package was just right. Installation was tedious, had to be on a hard surface and somehow manage to get the components in place held securely then be able to hit the installation tool precisely while holding everything steady!! Managed to get the job done but only after destroying a few of the snaps. If there is a next time, I will get the package with the tool that looks like a pair of pliers.

I am very pleased with this product. For the $7 or $8 that I paid for this snap replacement kit, I was able to save an $80 pair of insulated cargo pants. The most difficult part of the job was removing the old snap from the pants. You will need a drill and some bits, also a block of wood to serve as a work surface. A small hammer, some pliers too. I actually like the replacement snap better than the snap that came with the pants. I still have 5 snaps remaining in the kit for future use. This product is 100% worth it and an excellent value.

I have a favorite baseball-style cap but the velcro stopped working. Since the velcro bands were stitched in a way that couldn't easily be re-sewn, I went with this. Three bits of advice: 1. Watch the video 2. Do use a rubber mallet or plastic mallet as shown in the video to initially pierce the fabric 3. Work on a surface where you can really hit it hard. #3 was the real key. I was working on our dining room table and just wasn't hitting it hard enough. Switched to the counter with a cutting board underneath and three whacks later, success.

Kit is okay. One snap set had a loose snap and the kit was also missing another snap set (got 5, should have been 6), probably due to someone returning kit after using one snap set. Still, I didn’t count all the pieces on arrival so it’s too late to change anything. With one set missing and one set loose (2 out of 6) that gives the snaps sets a 33% fail rate, not too good. Setting tools are fair, get the job done. However, my refill snap sets will come from Tandy and I WILL be counting all the pieces on arrival. Overall, I might have been happier if all sets were there (still at least 16% fail because of the loose one) but as is, meh... COUNT ALL THE PIECES!

I'm very pleased. Super straightforward application. Quality snaps.

I fixed a pair of almost new shorts that had a snap that wouldn't stay snapped, also some patio chair cushion straps that the velcro had disintegrated. Worked well for all of my purposes. The key is to have a solid surface to use with the setting tool. The kit includes the setting tool and base and requires a hammer to set each side. If you don't have it flat and on something very hard and firmly placed, the set will fail. For portable installation, I use the tower from a jack stand, which is heavy iron and flat, but anything heavy and flat will work as a setting platform. If you can get the two sides supported by a solid base, then the hammer and set kit work great. Also works fine on concrete. One more tip: You don't need to kill it. Just a few firm taps will set the snap. These snaps perform well if properly set. I am buying more.

Le kit contient tout le nécessaire pour fixer les boutons pressions : "l'enclume" et le tube qui permettra de donner forme aux boutons sont inclus dans la boîte. Le tout est fait en acier inoxydable de bonne qualité. Les pressions tiennent bien en place. Seul bémol, le tube ne résiste pas bien à la frappe au marteau, même si on ne tape pas trop fort. Il tiendra le temps de fixer les pressions de la boîte, mais il est peu probable qu'il servira encore après. Un très bon produit dans tous les cas. Le bouton une fois fixé est plutôt élégant, on peut donc utiliser ces pressions pour n'importe quoi. Je m'en suis servi pour pouvoir fermer une couverture afin qu'elle serve de sac de couchage, mais elle pourra servir pour un pantalon, un blouson, un sac... elles sont plutôt grandes et solides de toute façon.

رديء و قصير جداً جداً

Realiza su función perfectamente, no hace falta ser muy manitas. Es super sencillo solo hace falta un martillo. la base circular donde apoyan los remaches en una cara es lisa y en la otra tiene un saliente para que encaje el remache.

Great did the job after much searching .. son in law very happy with his jacket fastener repair

A very simple tool that works as advertised and gets the job done. It contains high quality rivet snaps that worked with my existing snaps. My boat tarp works like new again. Dont be shy when using this tool. Use some elbow grease and these snaps will be as secure as the original ones.
