dejango[TK] Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I really want to be able to adjust the ANOVOS build when it gets here, so to be able to do my snaps I need the right pliers. These are a pair I picked up from the store, and I'm wondering if these are the correct type for just the average industrial snaps? If not can someone direct me to the pair they use or one that will work? It says it can do normal snaps and "pearl snaps"..

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 As long as they'll fit your snaps, those should work as well as any other snap pliers. Having said that, I'm a bigger believer in the hammer and setting tool approach to snap installation, than I am in the snap pliers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bench press snap setters are very good, but more expensive. Hammer setting will usually Give more longevity than the hand pliers.

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 +1 for the hammer set and anvil action. All the pliers I've used have needed me to finish them with the hammer type set tool anyways. And then I ended up bending my pliers after so many snaps trying to get them properly connected. -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolo[TK] Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 +2 for hammer. Same as Eric, my pliers ended up by flying 30' in the air as they do not work correctly. Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthis02 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hammer snap tool set best investment i made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Also, bear in mind these pliers will make it very difficult to set snaps where there are awkward contours or are not right next to an edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
