I remember when magnetic closures were going to replace all the lobster claws and box clasps on jewelry bracelets. One teeny tiny issue: they attach themselves to anything steel and people would walk off with their bracelet hanging from the shopping cart handle or iron pipe railing. Even if you noticed in time it was a nuisance. This might be fine on a purse, but not a wrist.

Ive been using those for my bracelets and some small gusseted business card holders ive been making, i love them. Magnets are surprisingly strong.

Great to see you again Eric, I think the mag snaps are fantastic. I wish I had easy access to them here in the Uk. Thank you for the information, take care. 👍👍👍

Finally an innovation on the snaps. I have the old style magnetic closures, and I also don't like that you have to cut slits, and then cover over the little bent tabs. This is a great move forward.

Around 1996 I was given a leather weekend case that used magnetic "snaps". They've been out there.

I also hate the fold over prongs. But, they have one characteristic the rivet caps do not. You can carefully remove the folding pronged magnets and use them again or fix a problem. Not sure if it is a problem. With the introduction of the smaller, rivet post base, I will never used the pronged ones again. (unless covering them makes sense on the piece)

These magnets have been around for some years now and the "proper" name for them is "Neodymium" magnets or "Super" magnets in some cases. I have been using them for holding doors or other enclosures shut on different types of wooden boxes and other furniture such as obsolete antique wall clock cases and magnetic "holder-uppers" which a person can "stick" on the fridge to hold notes and childrens' artwork in place for Mom and Dad to brag about when entertaining visitors.

Thanks for this awesome info! I gotta try them!

Vlog-style video suggestion: I would love to see a video of you going over all of the bags and pieces you keep on your wall to display. I know we've seen a lot of them (maybe all of them) being made in videos, but I just think it would be cool to see and hear your thoughts on each of them.

Talk to me about Grey, when you hit 70, Amigo... 😁

I use the terms "Inny and Outty". Seems to work just fine!

Brilliant this really is a big improvement to the prong setting

Sweet. Thank you for this one. I'm going to put it on my wish list.

Hey Eric - it’s nice to see you 😊

I

I'm gonna have to get those. Some of my line 20 and 24 snaps don't set well all the time and I have to pull or push too hard to open or close them.

Awsome, wonder if these would be strong enough to work on leather belts as well?

Got the setting system as well

Thanks you for making a video

curious about the mil spec line 24 snaps you mentioned! do you have any more information on them?
