captsafe66[Admin] Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Snap pliers are a nice thing to have. Pop rivots, E6000 adhesive, industrial velcro, sandpaper, clamps and some strong snips or shears are a good start, good luck and remember to measure twice, cut once and don't think any question is too silly to ask.

Darth Hilarious Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 what are snap pliers ?? vice grips (known as Nut F***ers) I think they're referring to vario pliers, used for setting snap buttons. (which, being 'Strayan, we call press-studs- damn language barriers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
