Amazing that I seem to be the only one that did not like the Red Snappers. I have bilateral carpal tunnel and have had 2 surgeries on each hand, which causes weakness in my hands. I was unable to apply enough pressure on the red snappers to get them to lock on the backing fabric. (I also did not like the “flapping ends” of my leads when I had a small quilt loaded.)
I sold the red snappers to another longarmer. I also made “a more flexible type snapper” like you did. That did not work for me either. Like farmquilter, I prefer to pin.
