A deviation from the technical content

I occasionally use press-stud fasteners to repair or modify work clothing, and saw this unit on AliExpress, so decided to see how strong the plastic handles were.

It doesn't quite manage to complete its task. The plastic is not a good choice of material for a tool that requires reasonable force.

That would be useful for you.

They didn't quite fit. But a piece of silicone tubing might work.

My favourite 'PC' alternative is the one to the database term 'Master & Slave' which is 'Master & Puppet' which reminds me of Metallica 🀘

Oh, a friend came up with another good one: big spoon and little spoon. Ultimately, and speaking as someone NB, I don't think anyone cares about the issue.

Ha! I just got done suggesting top and bottom on the Youtube vid. (:

Will the white pieces from the plastic handles fit onto the metal set -therby holding the snaps in place?

Mike Hughes

I was bracing myself for that happening.

Reminds me an eyelet maker. They work better because you can punch a hole (in the leather) with the same tool that you use for rounding the eyelet.

I really expected the plastic pliers to shatter and for there to be profanity as the plastic gouged into your fingers!!! I suppose now we cannot call fixings Male and Female anymore??? Top & Bottom? The Giver & The Taker??

To full seat the metal fasteners it looks like a job for Abe's Hammer!
