How is this site for snaps?

[TheLoneRanger[501st]]

I was looking at Tandy's website and they want about 65$ for a 100 pack of Line 24 snaps. I kept looking around and discovered this site. They offer 100 packs of Line 24 snaps at 22$, among various other packs and types of snaps. Can anyone offer an opinion on this?

I've never used those, but I'll note two things:

 

1) Tandy has sales a couple of times per year where their snaps are half price or less. Doesn't really help you need them NOW, but there you go.

 

2) I was recommended these snaps by a fellow FISD member: https://www.stecksstore.com/line-24-nickel-snaps-100-pack-1263-12/

 

I ordered and received them, and they LOOK good, but I have yet to actually install them into anything, so I can't personally vouch for how well they work. (I'm still finishing up the last of my Tandy snaps, and just bought these to have more on hand.) Seems likely they are good, though. May be the same as the other store you found is selling, hard to say.

 

Hope this helps.

I'm going to order these snaps and try them out. I'll give a review when I've finished.

They look thin.

I've used those snaps (The one from Zack White)! They're just as good as Tandy. I highly recommend them.

Posting an update here, these snaps are great. They hold together very well and are quite solid. I recommend them.

I'm glad you guys reviewed these snaps. I'm going to get some. I was originally going to order some Tandy snaps from Amazon until I saw this. Thanks!

No problem! Just a word of advice, they ARE a bit picky. You have to make sure you hammer the posts in exactly straight. Otherwise they won't snap in firmly.

I was thinking of using a pair of heavy duty snap pliers. I figured it be less of a chance of messing up.
