    OK, I have seen these snap setters and it's not what I thought it would be but I think I see how they work.
    Those of you who have these setters, could you tell me which one you have?
    I need mine for my Utilikilt snaps and I don't know what size they are. 5/16'', 3/8'' ???
    Thanks very much.

    The kit I have was from Tandy Leather. Its the Craftool USA Deluxe All Snap & Rapid Rivet Setter. Works for size 20 snaps (AKs) and size 24 snaps (UKs). Comes with instructions, a flat thing they call the anvil with recesses for the various snap parts, and five different tools to whack with a hammer to set the snap parts together. Heavy thing. Works well. even repaired a snap on the apron of my denim UK...went through seven layers of denim. Cost was about $15 USD.

    I've got the same one from Tandy and I'll recommend it as well.
