The Kam Snapper & Me

 Kam Snapper, where have you been all my life? As a lover of all things sewing notion, this toy has eluded me. In my pad making journey, I ordered the set up you see above.  What fun! It's the most basic model and you can get it on amazon for roughly 20 dollars and that includes the tools and all those snaps.  My new toy arrived and my husband immediately showed me the pockets on two beat up nylon jackets that he wears outside a lot for yard work. They had big sagging pockets and he asked if I could Kam Snap them. I did and he is mucho happy with the results. I have found the Kam Snapper easy to use and it does not take much strength at all. Actually, if you press too hard, you can ruin the snap. 

If you really get into Kam snapping, which could happen with production bag or pad making or even lots of jacket repair, the two snappers above take less effort and are the more costly. Frankly, the basic squeeze model takes little strength and is fine for my  needs.  

You can even get decorative Kam Snaps if your tastes lean in that direction. What little girl wouldn't love unicorn snaps?  One thing about the snaps, you go through them like water after a marathon. Luckily they are available at the chains so no problem with access and like everything else in America, you can get them on Amazon. 

I will be using these on my pads, what most people use. Those pointy things crush flat into each other making the snap a smooth flat connection. They are comfortable. While they look a bit obtrusive, you have no idea they are even on your pad once you are wearing them. There are  loads of videos on Youtube out there for help on installation and all things Kam Snap.  There is even one on how to take out Kam Snaps without ruining your piece of clothing. I've already used that knowledge! You all know I have no affiliations on this blog so this is just a review from a happy customer. I found Kam Snapping fun!............Bunny
