When you are using these replacement plier dies in conjunction with the pliers that have "GF" embossed on them, the white rubber head is intended to be used only for size 14 regular snaps. They are too high and do not provide enough clearance for caps with taller prongs than the size 14 regular. You will need to continue to use your shorter, old-style black pressing head for other sizes. However, you can slice a bit off the top of the white rubber head to make it shorter if you would like to use it for other snap sizes.
If you're using long prong caps, then you'll need to go back to using the shorter, old-style cap die in order to have enough clearance.

I recently ordered new pliers (GF) and the new dies. The die I'm using for a regular prong size 20 snap fits around perfectly, but is too high even for a regular pronged snap. I have to cram it in and risk breaking the snap.... ????
Am I doing something wrong? I am not using the white rubber head. I'm using the original head for the smaller metal bar as instructed in the plier tutorial. ???
