If you don’t already own a pair of snap pliers you may be wondering what all the fuss is about and if you actually need snap pliers. Of course if you already do own them, then I’m pretty sure that you’ll be wondering how you ever managed without them before.

If you’re trying to make your mind up either way, then here’s a few reasons why you need snap pliers.

Why you NEED snap pliers

• They look really professional; can you spot the difference between snaps put on with pliers and those put on by a machine? I’ve tried and to be honest there is very little, if any, difference.
• They’re easy to use; ever tried to attach metal snaps that you get from a sewing shop and you hit with a hammer? They are really hard to do and mine always looked rubbish. Not so with snap pliers.
• Snaps are cheaper than buttons; buttons are really expensive and you have to sew fiddly button holes. No need with snaps which are much cheaper.
• They have heaps of uses; you can use them on clothes, nappies, bibs, bags, purses, duvets, the list is endless. I’ve added a few ideas here.
• They come in 60 different colours; there’s bound to be one that will match your fabric.
• They’re not just round; snaps also come as hearts and stars.
• They’re quick to apply; snaps take less than a minute to attach, once you’ve had a few goes. Far quicker than sewing on buttons.
• You’ll keep finding things to use them on; It always amazes me the new things that I find to add snaps to.
• You don’t need to be able to sew; snaps have lots of great uses, you don’t need to own (or even be able to use) a sewing machine to get lots of use out of them. They’re even handy for running repairs around the house.
• They’re portable; unlike a snap press, snap piers are light and easy to move. You can take them to the item that needs snaps, rather than the other way around. They’re even small enough to keep in your handbag (should you feel the need to).
• Snap pliers are really handy; got something that needs a fastening? Grab your snap pliers. Need to attach something to something else? Reach for the snap pliers. You’ll be amazed the amount of things you use them for.

There’s just a few of the reasons that you need snap pliers. It might sound like a bit of cliché, but really it’s not a case of why you need snap pliers, but more a question of how you’ve managed without them before.
