Snap Fastener Tool Ring Spring, S-Spring, Jersey - Thread: M6, M8
Product number:
1050984315
Product information "Snap Fastener Tool Ring Spring, S-Spring, Jersey - Thread: M6, M8"
This snap fastener tool sets metal snap fasteners of the ring spring, S-spring or Jersey systems in textiles or leather. The upper tool part has a selectable metric M6 or M8 thread and is intended for presses with a corresponding receptacle on the upper tool receiving part; the lower part works in a 12 mm lower socket in the press base.
Choose the variant to match the closure type and the fastener size. The tool size corresponds to the cap diameter of the snap fasteners you want to process.
Without a suitable press, the tool is not intended for use. Make sure the thread and lower socket match your press.

How do I know if my press needs M6 or M8?
Measure the thread on the upper tool receiving part of your press and compare it with the chosen M6 or M8 thread of this tool.
Which tool sizes (mm) are available per snap fastener type?
For Jersey, 8 mm, 9.5 mm, 10.5 mm, 15 mm and 17 mm are available; for S-spring 10 mm, 12.5 mm and 15 mm; for ring spring 12.5 mm and 15 mm. The millimeter value corresponds to the cap diameter of the matching snap fasteners.
Does the same overall height rule apply to third-party presses with M6 or M8 as for TEP-2?
No. No overall height specifications or further press details are given here for third-party presses with M6 or M8.
Why does Jersey come with three tool parts, while ring spring and S-spring have four?
The button geometries differ: ring spring and S-spring need separate receptacles for cap and pin, top and bottom, hence four parts. Jersey works with a different counterpart and needs only three tool parts.
When do I need the third Jersey tool part?
Only for mother-of-pearl Jersey snap fasteners; for standard Jersey snap fasteners the other two parts are enough.
Do ring spring and S-spring snap fasteners need pre-punching?
Yes, usually with a 2.5 mm hole diameter. For Jersey, pre-punching is generally not needed.
Does the lower tool part differ between M6 and M8?
No. You choose the variant via the upper M6 or M8 thread; the diameter of the lower part is specified as 12 mm.
Can I safely use snap fasteners from other manufacturers?
No. Different geometries or dimensions can easily lead to a poor fit or overload. Check the type and cap diameter carefully.
Use
- The tool is used for setting sew-free metal snap fasteners with ring spring, S-spring or Jersey mechanisms in suitable textiles, bags or similar layers.
- The exact procedure depends on the chosen snap fastener type and the instructions for the snap fasteners used.
- The tool is not intended for use without a suitable press.
Application steps
- Screw the upper tool part fully into the metric receptacle at the top and check that it is firmly seated.
- Insert the lower tool part into the 12 mm lower socket of your press.
- Place the snap fastener parts correctly and carry out the setting process in a controlled way.
Notes on use
- Check the upper tool part regularly for a firm fit and retighten the thread if necessary.
- On the spring impact press you should firmly tighten the upper tool part with suitable pliers, because the thread may loosen from the impact.
- An even result requires that the tool and snap fasteners match each other.
With Getmore Crafts products
- Choose metal snap fasteners with ring spring, S-spring or Jersey to match the chosen tool type and with a cap diameter matching the chosen tool size.
- For ring spring and S-spring, pre-punching with a 2.5 mm hole diameter is usually intended; for Jersey this is generally not needed.
- Further tools for presses with M6 or M8 thread on the upper part are grouped at Getmore Crafts under the category tools for third-party presses M6/M8.
With products from other manufacturers
- The press must have an M6 or M8 thread at the top for the upper tool part and a matching 12 mm socket at the bottom; without measuring and checking, suitability remains unclear.
- Full approval for individual third-party press models is not stated.
- Snap fasteners from other manufacturers may differ in geometry and dimensions; binding compatibility is not given.
Your package contains:
- For ring spring and S-spring, 1× four-part snap fastener tool each.
- For Jersey, 1× three-part snap fastener tool; you only need the third part for mother-of-pearl Jersey snap fasteners.
