New Crossover KAMsnaps Hand Pliers Installs Plastic & Metal Snaps and Removes Plastic Snaps

Our new KAMsnaps KX6 crossover pliers break the barrier in hand pliers. These are the Lexus of pliers and are a cross between the pliers and the table-top press.  Not only are they constructed of heavy duty alloy steel and provide a more professional and consistent press compared to our basic KAM snap pliers, but they are also able to install a variety of plastic snap sizes and open-ring grip metal snaps and to remove plastic snaps.

Open-ring metal snaps 

They come with 6 die sets to do it all, and have pre-drilled holes in the handles so they can be mounted to a foot pedal.

Base Stand for Your Pliers Make Pressing Easier

This simple and inexpensive base stand allows you to use less hand/grip strength and to rely more on leveraging and arm strength to press down on the installation pliers. This can be especially useful to those who suffer from hand pain or those who install a large number of snaps in one sitting, when your hand might get tired.

The base is compatible with the K2 model KAMsnaps hand pliers but can also be used with the K1 model if you place a piece of 2"x4" wood under the handle of the pliers to provide additional support. 

These bases were made with minimal material and labor so that we could keep the price as low as possible!  Available at KAMsnaps.com.

Our popular plastic clips are now available in 100pc bags of randomly assorted colors, as well as in white and frosted clear.  Smaller quantities of 10 and 15 are also available.  The clips are great for making pacifier holders, for bibs and other projects.  They comply with CPSIA regulations for lead and phthalate content in children's products.  With plastic gripping teeth, they will not snag on fabric. Discount available on 1000+ pcs. Please email sales(at)kamsnaps.com for details.  Clips are available at KAMsnaps.com.

Long-Prong Size 20 KAM Snaps for Marine Vinyl and Other Thick Fabric

If you're working with thick fabric, such as Chinese prefold diapers or double layers of marine vinyl, you may find your snaps are falling off.  That's most likely because the snaps are too short for the fabric thickness.  If size 20 standard prong snaps are too short for your embroidery, diaper, or other project, try our size 20 long prongs instead.  Now offered in a multi-color pack of 11 popular colors for a limited time.  Available only at KAMsnaps.com.

Having a Hard Time Squeezing those KAM Snap Pliers?

If you have problems with your hands and/or arms that may inhibit your ability to squeeze your KAM snap pliers, here's a simple tip that may help:

Place the bottom of the pliers on a hard surface (like a table) for better leverage.

Think of it like a stapler. It's easier to use if the stapler is resting on the table vs you holding it in your hand and stapling in the air.
