Without this tool a plastic snap stays a loose part — with it, the fastener is set in seconds. Made in the size Ø 9 mm. Sold as a single item. Made from plastic, metal.
With everything centred in the insert, pressure spreads evenly and the fastening comes out round rather than oval. For craft work with leather, felt and tarpaulin it holds the parts in position until pressure joins them. The matching insert decides everything: size and design must belong to the fastening, or the part will sit crooked. Anyone sewing regularly likes to keep such notions in duplicate.
What Prym Druckknopf Color Snaps Mini Werkzeugset Ø 9 mm 673116 is suitable for
- Fitting eyelets into bags and pouches
- Regular sewing with fastenings
- Crafting with firm materials
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.
Do I need a base underneath?
For hammer work, yes: a firm, smooth base that absorbs the blows. An ordinary table keeps the dents, and pressure fails to spread evenly. A piece of hardwood or a stone slab serves the purpose perfectly.
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 should inserts be stored?
Together in the box they arrive in. Loose inserts otherwise vanish into the sewing drawer and are missing exactly when needed. A small tin in the sewing box will do when the original case is gone.
