In Stock 45,300 pcs
With the WUK snap fastener (available in a 12 mm button diameter), a heavy-duty metal press stud, you can fasten a bag securely even under tough conditions. Thanks to its precise locking mechanism, you will hear a satisfying metal click when you close it, which tells you everything is locked in place. It suits leather bags, backpacks, wallets, or sheaths where you need a strong, long-lasting fastener.
Key benefits:
- Tougher than plastic: The all-metal build shrugs off mechanical wear and harsh weather, so you don't have to worry even with heavy outdoor use.
- No accidental popping open: The precise mechanism holds tight without wobbling, even after repeated snapping and unsnapping, which suits everyday backpack use.
- Quality that lasts: The surface finish protects the fastener against rust, so it keeps working and looking good for the long haul.
- Easy size selection: The 8 mm snap suits materials up to 2.3 mm thick, the 10 mm up to 2.5 mm, and the 12 mm handles the thickest materials up to 3.3 mm. All three sizes come in nickel plated and black nickel. Antique brass and brass plated come in 12 mm only.
Pro tip for comfortable work:
Each snap consists of 4 parts, and you'll find 100 complete sets in the whole pack. To set them, use the #3990-00 hand press with a die, or a hand setter. You will find tools matching your snap size in the recommended products below.
Things to keep in mind (limitations):
Note: Avoid using WUK snaps on very lightweight fabrics or in places where you need a gentle closure.

Workshop opinion
Pavla NovákováI put it on the workbench first. You get facts instead of guesses.
The tricky part of WUK snaps is the thin top plate. Miss slightly when setting and the plate dents or sits crooked. I tried several sizes and setting methods, and a press with a piston gave me the best result. It holds the pressure exactly where it should and the snap comes out straight.
I set them with a hand setter too, but with WUK snaps it is always a bit of a gamble, because the angle, the force and a steady hand all have to be right. When there is no press to hand, it can be done by hand. Even after years of practice, the occasional snap still fails with a hand setter.
