How to install plastic snaps or KAM snaps using snap pliers.
I've never used plastic snaps before, so I purchased a set to try them out.
Join me to find out what comes in the box, how to install them and my view of how useful they are in bag making.
Let me know your own tips below for plastic poppers or anything I've missed. Does anyone use them with a regular rivet press machine?

    Thanks Diane. I have used Kam snaps on garments but haven't tried on other materials. I was drying my hair this morning and thought how I need a cord keeper for it, but too much time involved with sewing fabrics and Velcro. Now I will cut a bit of cork and use a Kam snap. Marvelous. Just a few minutes effort.

Yours was explanatory not fast you did it on a couple of things and now I know the female from male fastener and you should’ve had your video with amazon attached . Thank you for figuring it out. Also, thanks for showing us there’s many sizes of snaps. I saw how on that spritz video they unscrew the caps and spring to put the bar tool in but we didn’t need that at all. Your ace brilliant😺👍

    Thank you Diane! I've been successfully using KAM snaps on my projects for several years now and have both the hand held pliers and table press for plastic snaps, metal rivets and metal grommets (I use a Crop-a-dile Big Bite to punch the holes). You get a bigger reach with the table press (and it's easier on your hands then the hand held). The plastic snaps are also available with a longer prong for thicker items. Look forward to seeing how you use them in future videos!!

    I bought a couple bags for guy gear projects from Hobby Lobby. I was disappointed with the two tools for securing them. Used a punch and hammer without success as well. Next attempt will be to melt the tack center with a soldering iron. I will grind, and file to shape the tip just right. I think that might be the working solution for those of who might not order or find that good tool locally..

    hi Diane, you can buy Kam snaps with longer prongs for thicker fabrics, you can also buy metal kam snaps...never tried them I would assume you need a different tool for fitting them though.....buying the cheaper ones can be risky as many are really poor quality, lots of people use them for baby clothes so better to buy genuine ones that rarely fail than cheaper ones that are less reliable....if you buy genuine ones, they come in four sizes x

    Just like you I have had 3 tools and thy are all the wrong ones. So I saw a video the other day and it looked easy , and I tried but my tool is not right it does not squeeze the point down it pushes it to the side and on the cap it actually presses it almost out and brakes the whole thing. So I am fed up with my tools 🛠 that I have. Need to go and see if I can get the right one this week. I love the snapper if only I knew how to use it years ago.

    Does anybody know that if you squeeze too hard you can do something to make the snap not work right? Because I put some snaps on my granddaughters dress but they don’t make a nice clicking snap sound when I close them together and they come undone very easily. Maybe they were just faulty snaps but they are Kam snaps.If anybody has any advice on this I’d be happy to know it. Thank you
