OneStrangeCyka Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 Hello all, I'm gathering supplies for my first build so I can start immediately on the kit when I get it. My question was, where would you veteran builders out there suggest I source my snaps from? I'm not sure if anything I'm looking at is genuine or garbage. Quote

TK-42775[TK] Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 Side Note = Buy extra snaps. It took me 4 or 5 tries to get setting them right, Better to have too many than not enough Quote
Neb Sgird[TK] Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 Tandy is the go-to in the US. line 24 snaps to be exact. They are strong snaps that won't come apart as you move. James is right, buy plenty of extras. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Quote
themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 I 100% recommend getting the special pliers for the snaps of you can. Makes doing a snap a 5 second job. 1 Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 Fasnap or DOT, Military and Marine grade and non corrosive. Slightly more expensive then Tandy but well worth the money IMHO. They also sell the setters Quote

I also have a set of the plier type that I use to start it, But I finish with the Punch type, for two reasons, due to there are spots the pliers cant reach as well as none of my snaps rattle from being loose.

OneStrangeCyka Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Posted February 19, 2019 Thanks, everyone. I'll get a pile of both kinds suggested because I definitely have a list of costumes I wanna blow all my money on. Quote

I think it may have been you that put me onto the Prym (?) products through one of your posts. Haven’t looked back since getting one of their tools. Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk Quote
