I use two sizes of modified shot filled mallet for numerous tasks. It won't rebound and doesn't damage the tools your striking. The rivet /snap press is worth the investment if You are doing any production work . Lets face it anything in leather working is EXPENSIVE .
@vieuxacadian9455 To do solid production work, you will definitely pay the price to speed up the process. But, if someone were to get started in leather craft as a hobby, basic beginner tools will not break the bank.
@@bigstacksshop, it is the reason I purchased it. Setting grommets, eyelets and making holes! I found it also works great with my small stamps also. Very handy tool.
I’m a very tactile person and there is something about working with hand tools that makes me feel more relaxed
@Nicksleather I love working with hand tools as well, for the same reason and many more. Thank you for sharing.

Wawak Sewing has a nice press to use that is very nice and a bit more wallet-friendly. I love mine!
@revan33 I'm going to have to look into that. Does it work good with leather?

@@revann33Thank you very much. Is that on Amazon or just plain old www?
I make knives and sheaths myself and have always used hand tools. There is something special about using hand tools and finishing a tough project.
@jeremynedrow7003 I am with you, hand tools are such a pleasure to use. Thank you for commenting.
