Long-Handle Hand Strike Die Holder for Snap, Eyelet and Rivet Setting - KLP00EL01

A Practical Manual Tool for Small-Batch Fastener Setting

The long-handle hand strike die holder provides a straightforward way to install compatible snap fasteners, eyelets and rivets with a hammer. It holds the selected upper die above the workpiece, while the lower component and material are supported by the matching die fitted into the base.

This tool is intended for users who do not require a fixed bench press or who need a portable option for samples, repairs and occasional production. The extended handle keeps the user’s hand farther from the striking area and makes it easier to position the upper die before applying the hammer blow.

This product is a die holder, not a complete setting die. The correct upper and lower dies must be purchased separately for the fastener being installed.

How Is It Used?

1. Select the setting die made for the exact fastener type and size.
2. Fit the upper die into the long handle and place the lower die into the base.
3. Position the fastener components and material correctly between the dies.
4. Hold the tool upright on a firm and stable work surface.
5. Apply a controlled hammer strike and inspect the finished setting.

Before working on the final item, test the die, fastener and striking force on a spare piece of the same material. Excessive force may deform the fastener, while insufficient force may leave it loose.

What Is Included?

• 1 long upper die holder
• 1 lower die base

Setting dies, snap fasteners, eyelets, rivets and hammer are not included.

Compatible Applications

The holder may be used with technically compatible setting dies for different applications. By changing the die set, you can later add different sizes or types of snap fasteners, eyelets, rivets, jeans buttons and fabric-covered buttons to your working setup.

Each application requires its own matching die. A die selected for one eyelet, snap or rivet system should not be assumed to fit another product simply because the visible diameter appears similar.

Who Is It Suitable For?

• Leatherworkers and bag makers
• Clothing and textile workshops
• Sample rooms and product development teams
• Repair and alteration businesses
• Craft makers and hobby users
• Businesses handling occasional fastener applications

Die Holder or Bench Press?

A hand strike holder is useful when portability, low investment and occasional use are the main priorities. It works well for samples, repairs and small quantities where every piece can be positioned individually.

For repetitive production, higher quantities or applications requiring more consistent pressure, a bench-mounted hand press may offer better speed and control. The correct choice depends on the fastener, material, production quantity and required finish.

Important Compatibility Information

Choose the setting die by fastener system, exact size, component structure and holder connection. Similar-looking fasteners may require completely different upper and lower dies.

If the dies will also be used with another machine, check the machine’s thread and connection type before ordering. Dies intended for machines manufactured outside Türkiye may require an M6 connection, but this should always be verified against the actual machine. If you are unsure, contact us with photographs of the machine’s upper and lower die connections before placing your order.

Complete Your Manual Setting Setup

Choose the compatible upper and lower setting die according to the snap fastener, eyelet, rivet, jeans button or covered-button system you intend to install. The matching fastener components and a suitable hammer must also be supplied separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this product a complete snap or eyelet setting tool?

No. The package contains the long upper holder and lower base. Application-specific setting dies, fasteners and hammer are not included.

Can I use the same die for snaps, eyelets and rivets?

No. Each fastener system and size normally requires its own matching upper and lower die set.

Does it require a bench press?

No. This holder is designed for manual use with a suitable hammer on a firm, stable work surface.

Is it suitable for continuous production?

It is better suited to samples, repairs, occasional applications and small batches. A bench-mounted press is generally more practical for repetitive or higher-volume work.

Are the setting dies included?

No. The dies must be selected and purchased separately according to the fastener type, system and size.

Can I add other applications later?

Yes. The holder can be used with other technically compatible setting dies, allowing you to add different snap, eyelet, rivet, jeans-button or covered-button applications later.

How can I check whether a die will fit?

Check the die’s holder connection as well as the fastener system and size. If the die will be used with a machine manufactured outside Türkiye, verify whether an M6 connection is required. When in doubt, send us clear photographs of the upper and lower die connections.

Should I test the tool before working on the final item?

Yes. Always test the components on a spare piece of the same material to confirm alignment, pressure and the finished appearance.
