Efivs Arts 1000 Sets T5 Snap Buttons with Snap Press Pliers Set for Sewing and Crafting-25 Colors

At first, it scared me to think that these snaps cost less than $20, yet there were 1,000 sets in the package. After all, there are other vendors online selling 1/3 the quantity of snaps for about the same price. The price hinted at cheap quality, so this was a definite leap of faith. How wrong I was. This was great quality and value for a very affordable price.So here is what I love about these snaps:1) the color selection is beautiful & colors are vivid2) the plastic is thick enough, not transparent but solid3) these are easy to useI also appreciated very much that the vendor took care in the packaging. Each of the colors came packed inside a resealable plastic bag. Inside each bag for each color were three smaller bags containing the parts needed for each snap set: one bag of caps with prong for each side, one bag of female snap pieces, and one bag of male snap pieces. This helped me quickly find the needed pieces, as opposed to having to sort through a bunch of parts jumbled together. Very well organized from the start! Included in the package were some small Ziploc-type storage bags to use once you opened the inner bags. These were the only thing I didn't like as the bags are super thin & are likely to tear sooner rather than later. I have thicker jewelry bags to store these in.Setting a snap was easy with the provided tool kit. 1) poke hole through fabric on one side; 2) place cap with prong through hole; 3) place the female (or male) piece on opposite side of fabric; 4) insert the set into the tool with the cap side on the black disk and the prong pointing upward into the clear see-thru rubber part of the tool -- the rubber is to protect the plastic when you squeeze the tool while the thin metal in the center of this part of the pliers squishes the prong so the two pieces stay together.Another amazing thing about these snaps is that I was able to put them easily through four layers of cotton and to have no issues with looseness. Caps remained tight and secure. There was enough of the prong left over before squishing it that I might have been able to connect 5 or more layers.When applying pressure to the tool to lock the two pieces together, press as hard as you can before letting up. If you try to press again, the tool may damage the snap. The prong in the upturned cap goes naturally into the center hole of the clear rubber piece when you squeeze the tool the first time and it helps to center the cap. However, once squished, the prong can no longer serve as a guide to center the cap in the center of the spacer and any additional pressure is likely to damage the cap. Squeeze good once and then you shouldn't have to worry about it.I am contemplating buying another set right away, so that I don't lose the opportunity to get a great product at a value price.

Buy these and put snaps on all of your pillow cases!You're welcome.

At 1,000 sets with 25 colors, there should be 40 sets per color. Right? This package was delivered with one of the baggies broken open. I decided to count the loose pieces to see if they were all there, and there were only 29 sets of male/female parts for this color, but well over 70 caps. I decided to see if it was a fluke and kept counting, and the next color had 28 sets. 27. 28. And it just keeps going.I got these because the reviews state they're good quality, and I needed a TON of snaps in a short period of time. Now I have a deadline to finish these orders and there's no time to wait for Kam Snaps to be delivered, so I can't even send them back. Super disappointed.

I have only applied one set of snaps so far, so that I could verify that they work. They do!At first, I thought that the button pieces were faulty, because there is a point on each. However, when they're compressed by the pliers, those points disappear.I'm very happy with the range of colors provided. The quantity is perfect for a hobbyist. Each component arrived in a separate bag, so I don't have to rifle through all the pieces in that color to match them up.I have decided to store them (at least for now) in their own bags, in letter-size poly bags, to save space.The application in my photos is of a thin 5.75"w x 7.5"h poly bag, used to store stamps and dies. I store other things in these little bags, as well, so I'm using the snaps as fasteners for a few of them. This one is for the plier repair tools.So far, I feel like this has been a good purchase.

The snaps are good quality and the pliers are very easy to use. This was my first time purchasing, and ever using a snap and plier set. I’m surprised at how easy they are to use.It was awkwardly packaged and didn’t come with instructions, but I easily found videos on YouTube on how to use the snaps and pliers.1000 snaps, pliers, and extra plier tools, not bad for $25. I recommend purchasing :)
