Product Description

Not all snaps are created equal! There's a reason why KAM snaps is the most trusted and the most widely used plastic snaps both commercially and privately, and why there have been so many copycats. Snaps may look alike from afar, but take a close-up view and you'll notice the superior quality of KAM snaps.

KAM snaps are made of polyacetal resin, a type of plastic that is stronger and more durable than other types of plastic. Tested for lead and phthalate content, our snaps comply with regulations for children's products.

Don't trust your garment with just any generic snap that may fail over time. KAM snaps are professional grade. These are the exact same snaps used in commercially sold products.

With the KAMsnaps K3 basic pliers, you can install plastic snaps in just seconds. Lightweight, easy to use. Great for converting cloth diapers from velcro to snaps, as an alternative to sew-on buttons on clothing, on bibs, unpaper towels, and other embroidery, craft, sewing and household projects. These basic pliers *only work with PLASTIC snaps* -- they cannot be expanded for other functions.

NOTE: These snaps are *not* long enough to work with thick / dense material like double layers of vinyl or leather. Size 20 EXTRA LONG snaps are required for that.

Snaps are *not* one size fits all, so it's important you use the proper size/length for your particular project.

Troubleshooting quick tips:
- Snaps Falling Off? The snaps are too short for your thick material. Use longer prongs.
- Snaps Not Closing? The snaps are too long for your thin material. Cut the tips off the prongs prior to installation or use shorter prongs.

Must Love Dogs

Great tool, I'm obsessed with it!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've never tried to put snaps in anything before, but I needed to fix my dog's carrier- since its velcro was not keeping the bag closed. I must say that I'm obsessed with this! Not only is VERY easy to use, but the snaps that come with the plier are very sturdy. Once you apply a couple of snaps in a test surface you will have enough experience to do it in the fabric or piece that you want to. Just so you know I applied these plastic snaps on a thick canvas bag (thicker than denim), and it worked really well. Also I tried to remove the one I applied to test and It was not easy. In case you are wondering if you need to get a plier that punch holes prior to install your snaps, my advice is that you will not need one. This kit comes with a tool (VERY SHARP) so you can stick through the fabric prior to put the snaps. I recommend this kit to anyone who is looking for a snap plier! Also, I recommend you to search for videos on youtube - of how to apply snaps- so you will learn how easy it is. I saw two different techniques and the one I preferred using is the one that you actually stick the tip (stud) of the snap through the hole and then use the plier. I found the videos on youtube to be easier that the instructions on the website. Here you can find some instructions: [...]

Warning: you might get obsessed with this plier like I did. Now I keep thinking where I can apply these snaps. I tell you, it is fun!

Easy to use—worked great on cloth menstrual pads

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this to make cloth menstrual pads for Operation Christmas Child and Days for Girls. (If you don't understand why charities would want cloth menstrual pads, here's the short answer: it helps girls in the developing world stay in school!)

I was impressed by how easy it was to use. I was a bit nervous about trying it, so I made a drying strap first, which is just snaps on a piece of wide grosgrain ribbon (folded over for durability). This took the pressure off, since I could simply cut a couple of inches off if I messed up. But it worked great, and the finished product was quite sturdy. I had no problems installing snaps on the cloth pads. They were sturdy and looked great.

Make sure that you have the right size die in it, and that the fabric is strong enough. Other than that, it's very easy. (And be mindful that the awl is, indeed, sharp!)

Not Only Practical, but Fun!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 14, 2020

I bought the starter kit to begin with, and loved it so much, I later bought the box that has heart-, star-, butterfly-, and flower-shaped snaps. The best use I have made of these so far is to remove the buttons from a padded-silk-like jacket and put KAM snaps on instead. Ta-dah! No more cheapo-quality buttons slipping out of place at the worst times! These snaps are incredibly sturdy--they don't accidentally unsnap due to being too loose, nor do they break. The tool for attaching the snaps is quite easy to use. The directions included in the kit are both written and shown in pictures for ease in understanding. The company also included a card with information on how to access how-to videos, if necessary. The tool is well-made, surprisingly so for the price. If you want to start adding snaps to any sort of cloth, don't hesitate--purchase the kit and start snapping!

takes a bit to get use to

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

This was the first time I had bought snaps for baby items, I feel the instructions were not super clear so I resorted to watching some youtube videos and even then I had to empty/sort the snaps out so I was easily able to find the male/female parts. Once you have an additional organization done it is way easier. My only complaint would be a bigger case so that each color as two squares so the male/female parts have their own cubby so when your needing to get projects done quickly you are not searching for parts all the time. Also a spot where the tools (screwdriver and hole puncher) could reside in the box with the clips as well would be helpful as well.

Not sure I bought what I planned.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

I first tried to purchase KAM's professional all-snap version of the tool on its site. The shipping was to be $7.50 to Minnesota, so I thought I'd get it on Amazon with free Prime shipping instead. I saw various models, including one that had been highly praised in YouTube reviews for the "scalloped" finger-fitting handle. I misinterpreted the "commercial-grade" description on this one to mean it was the professional one I wanted when I now believe it's just an older version of the one with the fancier hand-hold and more snaps for $5 more. It will work fine for my immediate purposes, so I'm keeping it, but if I had it to do over I'd buy one of the others mentioned above. I am returning a Babyville pliers very much like this one; I switched to the current order after learning the KAM pliers takes more sizes and brands of snaps. An advantage to the Babyville if it doesn't matter to another buyer is that it can be purchased for $8-10 with a Joann or Hobby Lobby coupon.

Easy to use, legit kamsnap, beware rust

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 28, 2021

Verified Purchase

I emailed the company directly, who confirmed Luv and Crafts is the only authorized seller of KamSnaps. I wanted legit KamSnaps for its lead-free buttons, as I am replacing the velco on baby bibs.
This kit came exactly as pictured, along with coupons and instructions, but I went on YouTube for visual demonstration. Very easy to use! Unfortunately, the dies were kind of rusty. After a few uses, it faded away. The dies need to be screwed/tightened once in a while.

Value priced, meets or exceeds description, works as advertized and is a value.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

I purchase several things on Amazon, and was giving pretty in-depth reviews. From this point on, here's the new agenda…. if it works as advertised, is well made, meets or exceeds the description, is a value, and arrives in a fair amount of time, it will get a "star rating" equal to what my expectations were/are. If it doesn't meet these criteria, then I will most definitely and descriptively tell the short comings of the products and you as a consumer will not have to go through the trouble of buying the product without some background knowledge. If the sell pulls that item and relists under another description I will put the exact same review on the seller's feedback page. Seller's have done this a couple of times in the past, and I was true to my word then as well as now. DR

So easy to use

I looked at a few different options for buying snaps and decided on this starter kit because of the variety of snap colours. I am very happy with the product and will also be buying some different size snaps later on, as the pliers have the cap dies included.
