          @Shaun Testing out our new die's for the hand press? A little freshen up on the tools after having the same ones doing every snap for the last 8/9 years.

            @Graham slighty derailing this thread here - what tool do you use to fit the regular jeans buttons? thinking of replacing the sewn-on buttons on my 726 shorts, and was wondering if i could do that at home.

              Great question man, so we use a spring-loaded base plate on the hand press to install buttons but you should be able to install them by hand with something like THIS

                    @tody if you get stuck or need a hand give me a email and I can talk you through it if needs be, I used to do it at nudie for people but all we had was a hammer and it still got it done.
