Imagine you just put the finishing touches on a leather working or leather craft product just to find out the hardware you used is the WORST. It happens to me a lot, and I'm sick of it.

How do you know what is good and what isn't anymore? I decided to put three different snaps to the test. In this video, I will review an average set of snaps from a local craft store, an cheap set from Amazon, and some snaps from a premium leather supplier.

I also was taught how to tighten a snap if it's loose - I can't wait to share this with you.

If you are new to leather working or an experienced leather worjer, you will want to watch this video.

The three snaps I tested were:

ArtMinds Snaps:
