I learned that 1. you can also use a snap press to attach metal snaps and grommets with the appropriate dies (and oh my gosh, that makes me want it more!)... and 2. You can convert the press into a foot press (which is so cool!). And there are so many other things I learned too, but those were both really cool things!

I learned several new things from reading the FAQ page.

1. Some metal snaps use a post, instead of a second cap.

2. You have to have a different die set for metal and plastic snaps. I haven't really been interested in metal snaps, but that could change.
