Thank you for this helpful video. I wanted to put in snaps and was looking at a cheap tool. Then I watched some videos and went to the KamSnap website where there is tons of info. I finally ordered the large green model and some snaps and I am excited to get started. They are having a great sale right now so I am glad I went for it. I will order more die sets over time. I am subscribing to your channel, and will check your website. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. I just happened upon your sight when I was deciding how to get started on using rivets. This was super helpful and will save me from buying unnecessary items since I just make things for myself. BTW, your hands are beautiful. Love your nails!
Ditto to what everyone has already said - EXCELLENT video with info, links, and how you filmed it - so helpful! Because of this presentation I subscribed and also went to your website! Thank you and best wishes for your continued success❣️
I want one of those little glitter magnetic trays so bad!
Thank you. I just got the hole die and the rivet and snap dies, the hand held and table top press and got 10% off for first time purchasing. I was so lost.. looking on Amazon and all over for what I wanted . I'm glad I bought from an American company.
Thank you so much for the lessons. I feel as if I've gone to a class. This was exactly what I needed.
Please do a video on snaps! Love your videos. Thank you!❤😊
Thank you! It’s on my list!!
Holy Moly!!! What a wonderful video!! This definitely has helped me 100% in making an investment. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much 😊
I honestly appreciate this video. It was very helpful
You answered so many questions I had about what I need to purchase based on what I make!!! Thank you for sharing this video!!
Thank you for this video. I have a KAM tabletop and I got the rivet dies several months ago with no particular project in mind but wanted them for future use....and they are still in the plastic packages. I needed a place to start trying them and this video helps.
Thanks immensely for this information!!! I feel that I know exactly which dies I need. I, too, bought many dies that I have not used. Now I know better!
whoohoo I’ve just bought my first press just like the one one the table so this video is gonna be the video that about 3.00 so this is the perfect video for me so thank u so much 😁 xx
Thank you, Jessica. This is very helpful.
What a great informative video! Thank you!
Fabulous Video!!
Thank you Jess! This video was very helpful!!
This video is amazing! I have a Goldstar press which I love but it’s limited because they don’t have the key fob plate and the hole punch die works poorly (so I’ve heard). I got my press from Goldstar because their shipping was 99 cents on everything. But now, their shipping prices have increased and I’m considering a new press. I will probably get the Kam handheld thanks to this video. It will be great for traveling. I will still use my Goldstar for rivets. Many thanks for providing this information.
This was so helpful! I just bought a press. I have the wrist strap dies and am thrilled to know they work with the grommets! Would love to see videos on snaps and even grommets!
Great information! Thanks!
I just ordered my Green Press dies and rivets! Sew excited!
Great video. TFS.
Thank you very much for the great information
Yes to a video on snaps please. I make bags, but I made clothing more often. Right now, I have some coats without snaps because I don't like the way my old style snap setter with the hammer works.
Already made it 😊

I do enjoy my GS for rivets; it's done me well! There are some places selling lovely custom plastic snaps though, and I can't use my GS for them. I want to get the converter die from Kam and give that a try so I can use snaps more.
Those larger press plates will not go into the small handheld rivet plyers, because you would find it extremely difficult to get enough pressure to cut through any material, with a large cutting die-set, with the small handheld rivet plyers. You need the larger lever to get enough pressure to cut from any large die-set. Hope this helps cheers.
Great video! Thanks Jess

Really informative video. Please do a video on snaps.
Absolutely!
Great video! Would love a video on snaps! I’ve been thinking about investing in snap dies for my Kam press.
Already done 😊

A drop or two of sewing machine oil on upper die threads will help on die sticking. Great video. Thanks.
I would love a video on snaps.
Thank you for the feedback! I’ll add that to my list 😊
Very, very helpful video! I want to order a press and this helps me decide what I really need to go with it. I would love to paint one purple! Was it very hard to paint the rivet press?
It was not hard at all and I am definitely not an expert with spray paint! I took the handle off and I taped off the spring. And then I just did 3 or 4 light coats, and it came out pretty good!
I tried to get the holder for the jam press and I seem not to be able to get ahold of it
Can you use the lrge presser for snaps and holes? Thx
So you recommend just getting the 2.5 & a die to begin with?
Morning
Thank you. Please let me know where you purchased you wooden piece on the base?
I mentioned it in the video as well as in the info section where everything is linked 👍🏻
Have you used a Prym Vario Creative Tool? I can't easily get Kam in the UK so looking for options
Thank you thank you thank you for this very informational and useful. I have been wanting to get something to install rivets with but I don't want the big table top version. So do I just call Cam snaps and tell them I want to purchase the hand held.
You’re welcome! So you can order directly off the KamSnaps website or you can send an email to Judy the owner (her email is on their website) and tell her what you’d like. She’ll help you get everything you need!
@@SewManyCreations I will be contacting cam snaps directly because I don't want to spend a lot of money at this time I just want the basics for rivets and probably snaps.
Are all the dies ,snaps and rivets from a company interchangable with different brands of presses? Thank you
No they are not. Each company makes their own dies specific to their presses.
@@SewManyCreations thank you very much,I was worried about being married to a peticular company
I want to order the board and the table top kamsnap do you think you can give me the information
Every item discussed in this video is linked in the information.
What brand and type of spray paint did you use?
I have the same question! I would also like to know if they were any issues with peeling after it was painted and if there were any regrets afterwards.
I haven’t painted it yet. I’d think that the usual paint prep protocols would apply, a little sanding and asking the paint store what would be best for the paint. It was recommended to remove the handle and to use painter’s tape to cover the spring. I’m guessing some type of Rustoleum would work. Let me know what you do.
