Without this tool a plastic snap stays a loose part — with it, the fastener is set in seconds. Made in the size Ø 12.4 mm. Sold as a single item. Produced from metal, plastic.
Before the first real use, test on a scrap — that shows how much pressure the layer of fabric asks for. For craft work with leather, felt and tarpaulin it holds the parts in position until pressure joins them. The tool works without power and needs no maintenance; a dry spot in the sewing box is enough. The pack states the size, so buying more later stays easy.

Frequently asked questions
Does the tool fit every size?
No, insert and size belong together. The pack states which parts the set is meant for; anyone working several sizes needs the matching inserts as well.
Why test on a scrap?
Because fabric thickness and interfacing decide how much pressure is needed. Two minutes on a scrap save a crooked part in the finished garment, which can hardly be removed cleanly.
How do I look after the tool?
Dry storage and an occasional wipe are enough. A drop of fine oil keeps moving parts smooth; scouring agents have no place here. Putting the tool away damp means finding surface rust next time.
How much force does it take?
Less than many expect. Pressure comes from the lever, not from the arm; working in jerks hits worse than pressing steadily. Gripping the pliers at the very end of the handles takes noticeably less force.
