I'm not sure what thickness they are, but I used them on military nylon webbing and had no problems.
Jackets, coats, skiwear, and boat covers are all listed on the package. We're not sure if it'll work with your 3mm plastic because it won't compress like the other items it mentions.

For my son's Halloween costume, I needed several sets of these to make a western-style coat. I could have used inexpensive snaps, but I wanted them to last so he could wear the coat after Halloween. br>Because these were more expensive locally, I purchased one pack with the setting tools and then ordered more from Amazon (the ones I ordered didn't come with the setting tools). br>I've been using this brand of snaps in sewing projects for a long time and they're always great, including these. My five-year-old has repeatedly snapped and unsnapped the snaps, and they have held up admirably.
These were purchased to'repair' a zipper that had broken on a thermal lined sweatshirt. As of 3/24, I haven't completed that project, but I did use them to attach a piece of webbing to a soft-sided cooler bag, and they worked perfectly to replace the cruddy velcro circle that came with it. They snap tightly and securely, and they meet my requirements. BTSKY 11pcs DIY Leather Craft Tool Die Punch Snap Kit Rivet Setter Tool with Base for Punch Hole and Install Rivet Button' tool set from Amazon was used to install these. By the way, there are a lot of these universal tool sets out there; I chose that one because it was the cheapest with Prime at the time. (Please don't make any assumptions about me. ) The separate round anvil on that tool was smooth for snaps, which was another selling point. However, the largest cup on the metal strip was the correct size for the decorative caps on these snaps, so any of the tools sold here "should" work. To hammer in the bottom part of the snaps, I used the backside of the metal'cup strip. ' br>br>I strongly advise anyone who has never done anything like this before, such as myself: Get a few extra snaps just in case you mess up a few of the posts while learning the ropes. At first, I was trying to install these snaps in too much foam, and I ruined two as a result of my denial. (It should work because the foam squishes!) Wrong! lol) I messed up two other threads: One was determining where to hammer the flat side, and the other was attempting to install these through two layers of webbing. I eventually got the hang of it and am confident that I will be able to install these without too many snap post casualties in the future. Please let me know if Dritz only sells bottom posts. I'm sure I'll be able to fix the ones I screwed up! br>br>I hope this prevents others from making the same mistakes I did. There are some good YouTube videos showing how to use the tools, but I still needed to get a feel for installation despite watching them.
The only issue I had was that her coat had a few layers of fabric along the edge, and I wish the stems that go through the coat and are crimped in place were a little longer. They worked, and it's possible that making them longer wouldn't be practical because they wouldn't be as tight. But that was the extent of my difficulty. They worked great once I got them all in place, and the black outer top part looks great against her white coat.
duty! The snaps are adequate, but not as strong as I'd expect from a "heavy duty" product. If all you want to do is add snaps to a loose-fitting shirt, this is the way to go. These would probably be fine on a well-fitting garment, but I wouldn't use them on a waistband, belt, or anything else that will be subjected to any weight or strain. With a hammer and a snap-on tool, they're simple to use. They're a nice looking setter tool, but they can't withstand much force.
When the zipper on my nice winter coat broke, I decided to buy these snaps instead of replacing the coat. Make certain to purchase the installation tool separately. It's not simple to install them. To figure it out, I combined the included instructions (using the plier tool rather than the snaps) with the Amazon video. Even though I thought I had it down, I managed to misplace two snaps - Because some of the components appear to be very similar, it is simple to accomplish. Getting them out is extremely difficult. And because the parts you put in incorrectly cannot be reused, I had to order more snaps. It's all finished now. Not all of the snaps are easy to use. Some of them are acceptable, while others are extremely difficult to snap. I estimate I spent about 2 hours total installing 7 snaps. I think I'd just buy a new coat if I had to do it all over again! br>br>Now that I've worn the coat a few times, I'd reduce the rating to two stars. The snaps simply do not "snap" as easily as they should. It's inconvenient because I require all snaps to be closed in order to protect myself from the cold. Knowing what I know now, I would never take on this project again.
It was a perfect match for the Amazon tool I ordered. It was exactly what I needed to get these overalls back in shape. I can see how someone could be confused about which pieces go together, so once I figured it out, I bagged mine separately.
br>This video does a much better job of explaining it. br>br>It works well once you've seen the video and understand how to use it. br>br>I noticed that another review mentioned that the base might crack. I put some padding under it and it hasn't caused any issues. br>In addition, I employ a plastic-free approach. a mallet for the head.
It's easy to use and understand. This simple tool is the way to go unless you have a large number of them to do (hundreds or more). It's easier to use and more dependable than either of the pliers. a table that is based or one that is stationary devices of the highest quality It was used to make 16 snaps for leather blacksmithing aprons. I have a few more advanced and expensive devices, but this is the one I use the most. Unless I need to do hundreds of them quickly, I'll stick to the device.
