elie boone Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 It's relative simple to make one from a G clamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edzup Ezzer Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The proper tool for this is the Pres-N-Snap but they are rather pricey at c£180 each so not really the sort of thing many of us would buy for occasional use. There is a crimping tool offered by ScottR400D in the 'equipment for loan register' for poppers which could be what you need. Just a suggestion but given the cost of the genuine article I do wonder if the club could buy one for loan via the same register. Having used one (not mine sadly) I can vouch for the fact that it's easily the most reliable and effective means of fitting hood and boot cover poppers.

ScottR400D Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Actually the one I have is the Press n Snap. It was expensive but does work well. Unfortunately I don’t have it at the moment it’s with another member, from my local region. I’m not sure when he’ll be finished with it, but do know he’s away skiing just now.

Tazio Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Its the Press and Snap one that I've seen Oxted use, so simple and effective . Wish we had one !I have found a company, J Clarke Marine who hire one out for £25 for 2 weeks. (plus a deposit of £189.......) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
