In this category, you will find tools for all our presses with 1/4"–20 UNC threads. With these, you can process eyelets, snap fasteners, hollow rivets, covered buttons, and punch materials.
Tools for presses from other manufacturers with M6/M8 threads can be found in the category Tools for third-party presses (M6/M8).

Our tools are usually at least two-part and are mounted in the press as follows:
When used, both tool parts each hold a component of your item (e.g., the cap of a snap fastener at the bottom, spring part at the top). When the lever is operated, the tool halves guide and press the parts together form-fittingly, resulting in a clean, durable finish.
Note on third-party presses: Other manufacturers may deviate from the 12 mm bushing. Suitable adapters can be found in our accessories.
Principle: First, select your consumable (e.g., snap fastener, eyelet, hollow rivet, covered button). Then choose the tool with the identical size and type designation. Finally, check whether your press is suitable.
Assignment follows the product: The required tool always exactly matches your consumable in size and type.
Example: If you want to process 15 mm S-spring snap fasteners, you need a 15 mm S-spring snap fastener tool. Material and color of the consumable do not affect the tool choice.

All tools in this category share some key features that are important for your selection.
All tools in this category are matched to our presses.
Tools for presses with M6 or M8 thread are listed separately under Tools for third-party presses.
Tools are always size-specific and type-specific to the respective consumable.
Our tools are part of a system consisting of consumable, tool, and press. For a clean result, all three components must fit together.
The starting point is always the consumable you want to process. Follow these three steps:
This ensures that consumable, tool, and press fit together technically.
Key criteria are thread, fitting, and design. On the tool product pages you will find information such as:
The technical data of the presses are described in the presses category. If thread and fitting match, you can usually use the tool with your press. When in doubt, a quick comparison of the tool and press information helps.
EasyFix tools are usually designed for manual processing or with simple aids (e.g., setting tool, hammer). They are suitable for occasional use, small quantities, or situations where no stationary press is available.
Press tools are designed for use in a press. They are screwed in or inserted and allow reproducible, powerful processing – ideal for series production, professional applications, and more sensitive materials.
Whether a tool is intended as an EasyFix variant or as a press tool can be seen in the description on the respective product page.
In many cases, yes. To ensure eyelets, hollow rivets, and snap fasteners sit cleanly, the material is first prepared with a hole tool matching the system.
The product pages of consumables and tools describe which hole diameter is needed and which hole tool is suitable.
Yes, this is a central principle of our system. You do not have to replace your existing set, but can expand it step by step:
It is important that you choose tools and consumables so that they fit your existing press and your material.
Our tools are designed for a long service life. With a few simple measures you can significantly increase their lifespan:
With proper use and a suitable combination of press, tool, and consumable, many thousands of processing cycles are possible before a tool needs replacement.
Basically, we distinguish between tools for manual processing (e.g., EasyFix, setting aids) and tools for processing in a press.
Some systems offer both variants, which are structurally different. Tools explicitly intended for the press should not be used with a hammer or improvised solutions – and vice versa.
Whether a tool is intended for hand, press, or both applications can be found in the respective product description.
Yes, gladly. If you are unsure which tools fit your project, you can contact us with the following information:
Based on this information, we will recommend a suitable combination of consumable, tools, and if necessary, a suitable press. Contact options can be found as usual on our service pages.
