Have you used this tool to set snaps in leather cuff bracelets? How well does it work? Are you happy with it?

The hole punch works fine ; but , setting snaps other than glove snaps is impossible. Line 20 and 24 snaps are too large for the tool.

Yes I have and it works great, just remember work fast and have everything ready you are going to use to make a mold impression. I have never imprinted onto leather but if the impression is deep enough and you press hard enough I don't see why it won't work. Just work fast

I have this tool, but soon after I bought a Lyman case prep express. I do however use the same tool bits in the express. Have prepped 800 or so cases and it still reams. I also use the tip of the deburring tool to get out some of the crimp. Seems to be holding up so far for me.

I purchased this tool for my daughter, a professional woodworker & furniture maker in the SF Bay area. She is thoroughly pleased with it, having used it more than a year. (BTW: "impressed" "ACCURACY" "IMPROVEMENTS" - spell check??)

Yes, I purchased this item and it is the best at installing snaps, no more mHammer and little peg, it also lets you get more pressure on the snap so it sets better and doesn't come loose

Yes. This is a really great tool. there are some good YouTube videos on how to use it and how it works

It depends on the watch strap - how thin the leather is. For a wide cuff strap, or a mans watch strap, the smallest punch should do well. It might be too large for a narrow strap or thin, soft leather.

I have not had a single problem of any kind with mine.It is absolutely my go to tool on my model work bench.I have recommended it to several friends.Before I bought it I asked a modeling friend about the charging rumor.He told me he had been using his for over 2 years without any problems.

I have only been using it to replace snaps that failed. Already had the hole in place. But I don't think it will create the hole. You best try an awl or similarly pointed object to create the opening for the 'stem' of the top snap to pass through.

Yes I have the sander and used it several times. Works great in tight places...

The amount of time saved on projects with this tool is well worth the price! I love mine. My sister has a Dodge Avenger and it fits in her car with no problems. Even if one would have to tie the trunk down, this tool is worth it. It works as a small scaffolding as well. Sets up in less than a minute! Go on now, get you one you won't be sorry, unless you don't do much lol!

Looking at the directions the "common settings" are eylets/w washers and flat embellishments. The sizes are 3/16" and 1/8". I've only used the eyelets. I did a little search and there were a few sites that said you can use metal snaps with the tool, but you should do a more extensive search than I. I wish I had a more definitive answer for you, but I hope it helped some.

Buy a paper punch,it would be cheaper than this tool. It's made for punching metal. I've used these type punches for the past 25 years as a sheet metal worker and they are great for metals but paper would tear...unless you punched a bunch of sheets at a time I'm guessing.

I haven't used any other, so I cannot compare, but I was satisfied with this tool for ironing seams and hard to reach places. My only caution would be that this iron can get dangerously hot! Definitely recommend a holder of some sort beyond the wire stand built into the iron itself.

I've only used the Flip-Pal a few times so far, for much smaller applications than you describe, and have been very pleased with the results. I'm sure it would work fine for your project, although it would be slow-going. The "stitching" process is amazing.

Worth it if You willing to learn to use it. For example the suction cups in the feet of the tool don't hold the tool well, so You will have to find a way to stabilize it. I have learned to use it without worrying about its move. Also the stones are not of high quality so treat them with care; don't put pressure on them or they will brake. Other than that it is a very worthy tool in my opinion.
