$2 Store Credit with Review of New Dies for Pliers

If you have purchased a set of the new dies for your "GF" pliers, don't forget to post a product review of them at the bottom of this page:

http://www.kamsnaps.com/Dies/Replacement-Dies-for-Pliers-p139.html

After you've left your review, send us an email to let us know and we will set you up with a $2 coupon code to apply towards your next purchase. The die set is on sale for $2, so you are basically getting them for free once you've left your review.

"GF" vs "HG" Snap Pliers

We are now offering snap pliers that have "HG" embossed on them, as opposed to the pliers we offered previously which had "GF" on them. These pliers can both do the same types of snaps so it doesn't make a big difference which one you are using. Here are the differences between the 2:

- The "GF" pliers are preloaded with the metal rod for size 24 snaps, so you will need to switch the rod out if you are using size 20 or smaller snaps. The "HG" pliers are preloaded with the correct metal rod for size 20 and smaller snaps already so there is no switching out necessary unless you are working on size 24 snaps.

- The "GF" pliers have cap dies that work with but do not perfectly fit size 20 and size 16 snaps (however, these can be purchased separately here). The "HG" pliers have cap dies that perfectly fit size 20 and 16 caps.

We are no longer offering "GF" pliers. All pliers now are "HG."

Website Translator Now Available

It should automatically prompt non-English users (based on web browser settings) to translate the content, but you can also manually turn on the translator by selecting the appropriate language from the drop-down menu on the top right sidebar. We hope this makes things a bit easier for our international visitors!

Free Sample Cap: F Seaspray

Purchasing a KAM color card is a quick and handy way to see all 60 basic KAM snap colors. However, the color cards don't include our ever-increasing line of custom colors. So every few weeks, we'll offer a free sample cap in one of our custom colors. Collect them all! You can even make your own color card by attaching each cap onto an index card or piece of cardboard, using a socket on the other side to hold it in place--just don't forget to label each color.

We will rotate the colors offered, so if you miss any, just wait until they come around again. Please note that supply is limited, so if we should run out after you've placed your order, we will substitute with another sample color.
