Pliers for Plastic Snaps
Now with perfectly fitting size 20 & 16 cap dies!

 

 

IMPORTANT: Depending on the snap size you are using, parts on pliers may require changing before pliers will work properly.  Please read our tutorial here before using your pliers, and always practice on scrap fabric first!

 

Dies for pliers are not the same as dies for presses.  These lightweight pliers can apply most plastic snaps, but cannot be used for metal snaps.  They have a smaller clearance for fabric so could not be used for very thick fabric or to apply snaps far from the fabric edge.  The pliers would be sufficient for baby diapers or similar projects.

 

Our pliers work with the following available plastic snaps:

 - size 14 standard & long prong

 - size 16 standard & long prong

 - size 20 standard & long prong

 - star shape

 - size 24 standard (cap die sold separately)

 

These pliers will not work with metal snaps.

 

 

 

What's Included?


 1) Snap pliers ("HG" model) - Due to possible oxidation, the hinge on recent batches of pliers may show some rusting by the time they reach you.  This will not affect the function of the pliers.  We have included an extra hinge should you prefer to replace it. To apologize for any inconvenience, we will also include 100 complete sets of size 16 white snaps free of charge ($5 value -- sorry, no substitutions).

 

 2) 2 top metal rods (the one with the wider tip is for size 24 snaps, the other is for size 20 or smaller snaps)

 

 3) 4 cap dies to fit a variety of plastic snap sizes, including size 14, 16, 20, and star.  (Size 24 cap die sold separately.)

 

 4) Screwdriver

 

 5) Free for a limited time only: awl to poke holes in fabric. Regular price $3.50.  Free awl may be second quality with cosmetic defects which will not affect its function.

 

 6) Optional: size 24 cap die for $1.  50% off regular price.

 

 7) Optional: color card showing all 60 basic KAM colors in your choice of matte finish ($3), glossy finish ($4), or both ($7).

 

 8) Optional: 200 size 20 and/or star snaps for $7.95.  Includes 100 complete glossy snap sets each in 2 colors of your choice (200 complete sets in total).  Size 20 is the most commonly used size but you may substitute for any other size -- please inquire first about availability in snap colors.  25% off regular price.
 

 9) Instructions are available online only and can be found here.

I love my pliers! I thought they might be hard to use after reading the instructions online, but I got the first snap on correctly and haven't ever had any problems! The only time I had trouble was when I wasn't paying close enough attention and put the pliers on the snap backwards. I had to unscrew the pliers to open them wide enough to get off the snap. It would be helpful if they opened a little wider anyway, but other than that I have no complaints. I've used them to put snaps on 3 dozen fitted diapers and I'm excited about having them for the future!

I've been making my own cloth diapers and I thought I could only use velcro since I didn't want to invest so much money in a snap press. But, someone mentioned snap pliers and I had to try them. They are incredibly affordable and work wonderful! I was surprised how easily they are applied with light pressure. I did accidently apply 2 snaps on backward but after watching the tutorial they were simple to remove and re-apply new ones correctly. My only regret is I didn't buy more snaps! Shipping was also super fast - received them in 2 days!

I bought the pliers after attempting to place snaps with a tap and die set for a while first. :( I had a lot of trouble learning to use them, even after watching the tutorial video several times the die always seemed to bite on the snaps and render them useless. The pliers always fixed the snaps in place as it should, but the snaps did not work. After wasting several dozen snaps and becoming a pro at removing snaps with my screwdriver, I changed the die set to the size lower than was required (16 for 20 snaps) removed the rubber stopper, and placed the larger sized stopper on the smaller die. Now i love it! no more broken snaps and everyone is happy, even if I'm not using them the way they were intended, they work great and I love snaps!

Now that I've been able to use them to repair 6 diapers I feel I can give them an adequate rating. Honestly, I wish I could rate them on more than just "rating." As far as value is concerned this is definitely the best cost effective means to do small jobs and repair (5 stars). Ease of use is a 4 star, but I think that the outcome of the snap adhering really can vary, so for quality I'd give it a 3.5. Why? It's simple, I have had no issues putting on caps and studs, but caps and sockets are another beast. I think that another piece that attached to the head of the clamp that fit better in the sockets would make for a better "smoosh." I have found that the size 24 cap works better for the smooshing of the sockets. All that being said, the pliers are very easy to use, and even with limited hand strength I can repair two diapers before my hand even feels it. Overall, I think it's an amazing product and with a little tweaking would be miraculous. Thanks!

I recently purchased the pliers for applying snaps to diapers, and so far they have worked great. Only concern is that they don't feel very heavy duty. They do a great job of applying the snaps, though I do find that the clearance with the new dies needs to be a little more. All in all, they have been a great purchase. Also wanted to mention that Kamsnaps has great customer service...a pleasure to purchase from!

After much debating I decided to purchase snap pliers to redo my BG aplix diapers. I was a little bit intimidated but after several practice snap installations I felt confident. They have been my most useful purchase in a long time. I can fix all sorts of things with them including bib velcro that has gone bad!

The instructions on the Kam Snaps web site for changing out the dies is extremely through and helpful. Shipping was also quicker than I had expected. I am now looking for projects that require snaps! Thank you for saving my BG diapers!

The pliers are super easy to use. The instructions for switching to the smaller bolt and die are pretty straight forward. I would recommend getting the perfect fit die for size 20 snaps. With that it would make it foolproof. I would recommend it and have recommended it to all my friends, especially my mommy friends who want to make baby clothes or just adjust the clothes or diaper that they have.

disappointed! putting snaps on an outfit for my granddaughter; two layers of cotton and stabilizer. snaps kept pulling off. took over 20 attempts to put on three snaps. then I finally got smart and after crimping I took a small nail filed the end and used a hammer to flatten the cap. hate to see what it takes to get these to work on tough materials.

I've never used snap pliers or press before. I researched and saw that most people liked the kamsnaps the best. I got my set and changed the die head to fit my snaps and started snapping away!

I didn't realize at first that I also needed to change the bolt so my snaps were smooshed. It would be nice if directions came INSIDE with the kit but kamsnaps is good about having videos to help. Now that I've changed the die head and the bolt, It works wonderfully!

I would suggest though, if you are getting these to work on anything fluffy to go ahead and get the longer prong snaps because I got the regular ones and am working on cloth diapers and some parts are too thick for them. ps, fast ship too!

These pliers are perfect! Instructions on the site to set them up are clear (there are no instructions on the packaging), you get what is in the picture on top of this page. The pliers are well built (I'd say aluminum casting for the body of the pliers, the dies are solid plastic, rubber spacer is good) nice quality and are easy to use. The mechanism is simple and efficient, and I think they'll last for as long as I will need them. My 7 year old is able to use them by herself after I gave her simple instructions provided on this site. Great product for any job . I'm using them for cloth diapers and other garments and I couldn't have done it without them. Great product.

I got these recently and I am in love! They are so simple to use and do a great job! Something to keep in mind when changing the bolt side: when putting the screw back in place after loading the rod and spring make sure you are putting it in the same side as the other screws on that handle! Happy snapping!

I snap up lots of diapers. I've got my own business and a cloth diapering ministry. I only use snaps, so there are many days that I spend snapping. I love the snap pliers. I love how I can move around the house to snap. This makes it much easier to snap with a toddler running around.

I never have a problem with the snaps. They work very well and are very easy to apply. I was so nervous the first time. Now i'm snapping everything around my house.

Even my husband will say to me.."Can't you put snaps on that?"

Thanks for a great product and great customer service.

God Bless,

I originally ordered resin snaps from a different sight and needless to say it was my first time trying them. When I received my shipment I was very confused as to how to apply them to my ribbon. Then I found this sight with the snap pliers and I was so excited! When my pliers came in the mail I could hardly contain myself. I have a small business and one of the items I sell are soother clips, the snaps used to take me up to 10 minutes per clip! Now I am able to finish over a dozen in the same amount of time. The pliers make it so easy to line up and offer attachments for different sizes. In my opinion I could not have received a better product in the mail that day. Thanks!

I was skeptical, but decided to try it. My job was to make diapers for my grandson. I was skeptical because I've had rotten luck with fabric store snap pliers. Not so with these. The first snap was, well, a snap to install. I've installed many snaps since then, with only one failure. The clearance is relatively low & I'm guessing it's slower than a press, but for non commercial use, it's the way to go.

So I was a bit iffy about getting the pliers, but I just couldn't afford the press right now. After looking at the tutorial, I applied the "new" style dies easily. Then got to snapping. I found it far more simple than I had expected.

The only other set of pliers I've owned are those cheap ones from WalMart. They were HORRIBLE! And took so much pressure that my arms hurt after trying to apply less than 10 snaps. Not with my new Kam Snaps pliers!

I am so totally sold on these things. They don't take an insane amount of pressure, and are fairly easy to attach to fabrics. As long as you read the tutorials before you use them, you shouldn't have any problems.

If you do buy these, I would advise you to get the newer dies for them. I use size 20 and they fit SO much better into the new die. They don't wiggle around at all.

Buy these, you'll love them!

this is an awesome product. i was hesitant to buy it because of the mixed reviews on some blogs. However for the price i decided it was worth a shot. changing the dies on it was a snap (no pun intended) took like 2 mins. its so easy to line everything up and press it, i think i have messed up once out of oh maybe 100 snaps.

so worth it, especially if you dont have the money to throw down on the industrial snap press. it does take a little time to put on snaps but the pliers are so convenient that i can sit in front of the tv and use them or take them with me if im going to be sitting somewhere for awhile. i would recommend this to anyone!

Kam Snaps has been one of the Best Products I've come into contact with. Not only are the handy pliers easy to use, but they are convienent to me when I am traveling and want to keep crafting. I can carry them with me and use them where ever I am. I've carried them with me to Craft Shows and continue crafting during customer intermissions. I can also easily fix items to a customers needs with my handy pliers.
There are so many products that I've created with Kam Snaps and new creations are popping up every day. Kam Snaps have helped me to become successful at my craft and wouldn't ever go back to using anything else. Thanks Kam Snaps!

First of all I'd like to get started by saying why the heck did I not come across you before. Had I known ya had a cheap snap press before I would have saved a few $100s on my cloth diaper stash. I purchased a few from cottonbabies.com and they are great but they are a little expensive. Plus my husband had just been laid off work at that time that I could not afford to buy any more. So now I will be expanding my stash by making my own in a more budget friendly way.

I had never used a snap press and I thought it was going to be difficult what I did was look at your video tutorials on how to use them first and saw it was quite easy and indeed it is easy. So easy that I have become an addict at snapping. I am always going around my house looking for things i can convert to snaps.

ID like to thank you for having such a great product, besides your snaps of course. I can tell you already that I have done some cloth diapers with snaps, mama pads with interchangeable snap on liners and some other neat stuff that I will not get into too much detail because I will take advantage of getting free gift certificates for posting tutorials but I can tell you you will be hearing from me more often.

Once againg thanks for offering great products for all those budget wise people out there like myself. For those who can't decide on a press or pliers. I can tell you that the pliers are very easy to use and there are really no major trouble shooting issues with these but inthe end it's all a matter of choice. Both products will do their work. But if you are looking to not spend so much the pliers are best. Plus just add some snaps at the time of your order and you'll be spending just enough to get free shipping.

I recently purchased a pair of the pliers for plastic snaps. I am really happy with the purchase. I received the pliers in the mail very quickly. I found the online instructions and videos to be very informative. I watched the tutorials prior to setting up the pliers. I had an easy time replacing the plunger for the size 20 snaps.

I tried the pliers for the first time on a mama pad that had lost its metal snap. I had no problem applying the snap and the resulting snap works great. I love that the first snap I applied works and looks great.

I followed the guidelines on the tutorial for centering the snap parts and made sure everything was centered prior to pressing the handle. I actually turned the handle over and pressed with both hands to secure the snaps after I did the initial press. I think for personal use the snap pliers are great and a lot easier than anything I have tried previously.

I have used metal snaps and a hammer previously and the snap pliers are far superior. Another wonderful bonus is the wide array of colors available for the plastic snaps.

I am looking forward to purchasing more snaps and using them on my cloth diapers and covers. Overall I am really happy with my purchase and the customer service.

I used these pliers to convert my velcro designed BumGenius 3.0 diapers to KAMsnsps. Unfortunately, I did not have much luck. Many to all of the snaps popped off after a couple times of use.

(KAMsnaps: A few things can cause this problem--fabric too thick for the particular snap size being used, not enough pressure applied to the pliers, or improper plier setup to name the most common. All are easy fixes. BumGenius snap conversions have been successfully accomplished by many with the pliers and shouldn't be too difficult.)

These pliers are a great starter kit if you're just getting started with plastic snaps, at a good price. From having researched pliers and snaps on the net, this kit is not only affordable, it's also complete with everything you need, simple to use with no fuss over what's what and do I need something else, and comes with quite a few snaps too. And if you are still stuck, the website has plenty of tutorials to get you started.

Plastic snaps are strong and available in many sizes and colours, and offer a good alternative to the metal snaps & expensive presses. I use them on my knit wear for my toddler, as well as for cloth diaper covers.

I thought it was going to be harder, but I was pleasantly surprised. Make sure you watch the video about changing the plier pieces before use. It was very straightforward and helped immensely. The only complaint I have is that I constantly have to tighten the screws to keep the pliers from loosening (and thus not working right) but I guess maybe now that I'm using them for more applications, I should invest in a press :) All around, very good, especially for the price. I truly thought I was getting in over my head by trying to apply snaps, but the pliers make it very easy.

LOVE these pliers. They have saved my BG cloth diapers whose velcro had worn out. I converted them to snaps with these pliers & snaps, and they have a new life! Plus I love the matching and various colors and engravings. I only wish the snaps fit a little better in the dies.

I REALLY like to use these pliers. They are great for using when making Cloth Diapers or Pads, especially if you are just using them for your own use and not selling. Its a wonderful way to get a foot in the door with making your own diapers as well. Very easy to use. Sturdy as well! I'm really looking forward to the new Dies that are coming soon! They just get better and better

I LOVE my pliers - they really are versatile. I have used them for putting snaps on shirts, curtains, diapers and soakers, and all kinds of things! I use mainly the size 20 snaps and have found that they can get off center and press funny resulting in a snap that doesn't work. For removal of those snaps, I just used an exacto knife and cute the smashed prong out of the socket or stud and they separate quite easily. While I haven't used a press, so I don't have a comparison - for a bargain of a price, the pliers work wonderfully! (KAMsnaps: Our pliers now come standard with new dies which allow for exact centering of size 20 snaps.)

These snap pliers are fantastic! I use them exclusively for my home and small business use in cloth diaper making. They are portable, lightweight but strong, and extremely durable. They are also easy to use - I have attatched hundreds of snaps in one sitting without any trouble!

Love these pliers! They make snapping a cinch. I don't make products to sell, only to use, so I don't need a press. These are a great, inexpensive way to attach snaps. Follow the directions carefully the first couple times you use them and soon you will be snapping away!

We have found the pliers --the best thing since sliced bread --for the kids clothing that we use them on with the snaps.

These snap pliers are incredibly easy to use and give me consistent results. I was initially disappointed with the feel of them as I was expecting them to be made of a more heavy-duty metal. They feel rather like plastic, which makes them seem cheap. However, they've yet to break or malfunction, so I will continue to use them with confidence.

I have found that these pliers and die sets are the most useful of any snap application tool I've used. The die sets are configured to facilitate centering the snap. Even though my hands are not very strong, I have no problem applying sufficient pressure to set the snap.

I love my snap pliers. I have used them on the diapers I make as well as on a purse and I even used them when I was making a cover for a chair. They work great!

I love the Kam Snap Pliers! I was nervous to use them at first because I wasn't sure how difficult they would be to use. They aren't difficult at all! The tutorials on the website really helped make it so easy to apply the snaps to my diapers perfectly the first time I used them. I recommend them to my friends and people on cloth diapering boards often. I will be ordering more snaps very soon and look forward to trying the new perfect fit dies. Thank you for making a great product!

Love these pliers! So easy to use and you don't need to apply a lot of pressure to get good results. It can be a bit tricky to center the cap, but it looks like the new dies will be addressing that issue. Would definitely recommend these! (KAMsnaps: Our pliers now come standard with the new dies.)

I really like my pliers. I just make diapers and projects to use at home and not sale. They work great for my small projects. Definately worth the money.

I have hundreds of size 14 snaps (reg) unfortuanately they don't work the best with pliers. You can not get the point to smash good enough and many have to be replaced after a few uses.

The size 20 snap works fine, except you have to center it by yourself and sometimes it slips and ruins the stud snap. Then I have to replace it. which leaves a hole in my fabric.

I am looking forward to dies that fit perfectly for our snaps. That will make my job easier. Also looking forward to being able to use my size 14 with more success.

(KAMsnaps: Our pliers now come with new dies that center the size 20 caps perfectly and can also be used to apply regular size 14 snaps.)

These pliers are wonderful! They are much easier to use than I expected. The tutorial and information that is offered here at KamSnaps.com made them easy to figure out. They have come in so handy for many, many projects. Better yet, I still find more and more uses for them everyday! They are very much worth the purchase. Thank you!

I love my snap pliers. I have made over 300 diapers with them and they are still going strong. I love how versatile they are. I take them everywhere with me I put snaps on while watching Tv, waiting for my daughters at dance class, etc. I have often thought about getting a press but the flexibility of taking the pliers with me is what is holing me back! I recently taught my husband how to place snaps so I just ordered my second pair of pliers so I can work along side of him!

I received my snap pliers today. I ordered the extra snaps and some ones that coordinate with the BG 3.0 diapers. Everything arrived very fast, and was in great condition. Judy was awesome to talk to about problems with checkout. I used a reusable shopping tote from Target to test my snap pliers and snaps. The pliers were so easy to use. I got the snaps on perfect the first time. I then converted my Thirsties diaper covers to snaps and it took me only a few minutes. The only trouble I had was when trying to add a snap to my daughter's mittens, the knit material got snagged on the bottom die, and when I removed my hand from the socket/stud the top piece slipped. I could have used a third hand. Overall, with more practice I know this will be my favorite diaper sewing accessory.

I had heard mixed comments about snap pliers and I was worried about trying them... but a close friend recommended the pliers from Kam Snaps and I'm so happy I bought them!! I've made close to 30 cloth diapers and the snaps work perfectly. My pliers can handle quite the workload! I would recommend these to anyone who wants to try snaps without the cost of a press.

I use the KAM snap pliers and I love them! For years I struggled with snap applications until I heard about KAM snaps. I tried them, read the tutorial a few times first, and was thrilled with the results. The colors match everything I make, the application is easy, they certainly are economical and the look is totally professional. I am now saving up for a press so I get on to bigger and better things. If in doubt, try them out.. you won't be sorry.
