Press-N-Snap tool for Durable Dot Fasteners

[nigelpugh]

I finally got around to buying one of these excellent tools to help with my build. I have added it to my Blog, but so many people on Facebook were asking for details about it, I thought it might help to provide more information about it here.

Its called the Prees-N-Snap fastener tool, and is made by a US company called Hoover.

I bought mine on line from a company called Sailrite, here's a link to their website.

And here is an picture of the actual tool.

I saw that on facebook and I have to agree, it looks so much better than anything that involves a hammer!

I got one last year it's much better than the hammer method.

$125! It will have to be fabulous.

Soft Bits hire the tool, which saves money.

I can Confirm after borrowing ScottR400`s one that it is a fantastic tool, I cant imagine trying to fit that many snaps accurately with the hammer and punch method

Nice tool, I didn't fancy hammering them either.

 

Bit pricey for me, so I welded the Caterham tool parts into a G clamp. It works quite well.

Anyone prepared to lend their tool (homemade or otherwise) through the new Register?

Thanks
