Heavy-Duty Snap Fastener – Stainless Steel
Anyone who makes bags, wallets, or backpacks knows this: details really matter. And the rivet buttons are exactly the kind of detail that sets your products apart from the competition. Unlike plastic snaps, the metal construction lasts many times longer, looks more professional, and can handle some seriously rough treatment.
The saddler’s rivet button is a classic that never lets you down. The four-part construction creates a strong connection you can snap open and closed practically forever, without losing quality or strength. It stands up to washing, weather, and daily heavy use. Sure, hook-and-loop fasteners are quick, but these snaps will last you for years without needing replacement.
Where do they work best?
- Clothing, bags, wallets, even outdoor gear—anywhere you need a reliable closure.
- Textiles, tarpaulin, faux leather, or real leather—it handles a wide range of materials.
Special note: For riveting with the #3990-00 hand press, use pistons #3992-805-15. For manual riveting, use tool #8101-805-15. Pick the right piston or setter size according to your snap size—or just choose the right tool from the recommended products below.

Expert's opinion
Pavla Nováková
Craft isn't just about feel – it's about understanding the material and the process. If it works in my workshop, it'll work in yours.
Heavy-duty snap fasteners surprised me right from the first time I set them. I wasn’t expecting miracles – I just wanted something I could attach without a press. Something that forgives a small mistake and doesn’t get crushed on the first try. And that’s exactly what I got.
When I use a press with a piston, it’s a joy. Everything lines up, the result is straight and clean. But the best part? These snap fasteners work perfectly even with a simple hand setter. Nothing slips, nothing looks crooked. Unlike regular snap buttons, they don’t punish every millimetre off.
Thanks to their solid construction and versatility, I even take them to workshops where complete beginners use them. And they manage just fine, even if they’ve never held a setter before. Perfect for hobby projects, smooth and efficient for professional work.
For me? These heavy-duty snap fasteners have earned their place on my workbench, fair and square. They’re reliable, versatile, and ready for whatever you throw at them.
I evaluate objectively what others only guess.
