Thank you for this. I did leatherwork when I was a kid, and am getting back into it. I put a snap on a heavy leather jacket and used the wrong snap set. Now I can go get our drill and replace it correctly!

I think it's great you're getting back into it!

Thank you simple and useful...

Thank you this was very helpful!

Great video, thank you for it. I am a leather smith by trade, and when working on a belt I ended up accidentally put one of the snaps upside down but now thanks to y'all doing this video, I was able to fix that snap.

I'm glad it helped!

Thank you. I did the drill but it was so nerve wrecking and time consuming. I tried to hammer it out with a bit but was disastrous! I nicked my leather and am mortified. I worked on a high end jacket(Balmain) with new snaps so it must've been either good quality snaps or just brand new snaps. I finally did it with patience and jiggling the drill but it was not easy. I also am having trouble with putting on new snap/rivets. The snaps work but look wonky inside when unsnapped. I am exhausted. What am I doing wrong?

If you want to clean up the metal shavings before doing the rest of the work that's probably a good idea. Keeps them from getting stuck in you, or the garment.

hi...great video...thanks! How do you take off the opposite end to replace?

It works the same way

I got a zip pocket on an old leather jacket where the actual pocket itself has ripped away from the jacket. How would i repair this, as there is no way to get to the back of it as the jacket lining is in the way?

Genius

Hi, can you reuse the snap you removed? I want to use the existing one on the back of my leather jacket and put it on front lapel? thanks

No, when you remove the button it is usually destroyed.

How do you remove and fix the other side of the snap? I have a purse where it completely popped off.

Vest extenders snap on to the snaps that are already on the vest. You don't attach them permanently to the vest normally.

Where do I find the snazzy snaps. mine are plain on the jacket im going to replace them on. the buffalo are cool but where do I find other prints?

Amazon or Tandy Leather. Both have lots of online options

Is it possible to remove snaps without a drill?

+Angie L I don't know of another way. You have to get that center section to break away. You might be able to break it off with a small chisel but I'm not sure.

Hi can you remove the other part of the snap the same way? I just put a snap in on the wrong side. The bottom snap is on the inside of the fabric and the flat part is on the outside. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Can I remove it the same way with a drill? I’m sure hoping so, cause I don’t want to have to make this project over again. 🤔

Yes, in fact, I did the same thing you're talking about.

Let's Learn To Sew Thanks so much for getting back with me so quickly. 😊

Does the lower part of the snap have to be replaced or it it just the part shown in the video

You only have to remove the side that is broken if you are replacing it with the same size/style snap to ensure it will fit when snapped together.

Use pliers never get your fingers near the drill head like that.

Are you saying anvil? Where can I find one of those tiny things?

Yes, it's a snap anvil but can be used for lots of stuff. The cheapest place is Amazon. Here's a link. amzn.to/3cUC504

that was good, but I was hoping to see replacement of both parts of the snap.

It works the same way but I'll see if I can do a quick video this weekend showing both.

Great video. Clean them fish guts off the table before you clean another. Funny! Orcinus

I am replacing the snaps on my cut because the EXACT SAME VEST EXTENDERS you have didn't fit the male ends on the vest.... Imagine that... lol

I tried this method to remove snaps on a dickies jacket, but unfortunately it did not work. :(

I'm sorry, it usually does regardless of the brand since most snaps are joined the same way.
