    You can probably buy the pliers separate:

    This is the set I would buy when I figure out what I want to make😃. From what I’ve read, KAM snaps and pliers are the best to use. I’ve heard this from many machine embroiders and they always recommend KAM products.

    Default Snap Pliers

    This is the one I was considering, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01435LTUW...xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
    I worry because I have almost no grip in my hands so I have delayed ordering.

    KamSnaps, bought online with extra snaps with the longer pins for going thru multiple layers of vinyl and/or leather. Even fixed my sandals which had to go thru velcro too. Love my KamSnap gadget.

    I love my Kamsnap pliers. Got the starter kit and added the snaps with longer pins or whatever they're called as I knew I'd be going thru layers of vinyl. I even fixed my sandals with it when the velcro conked out on them. Love, love my Kamsnap. Have another brand I bought at JoAnne's years ago but its just this little snap gadget about 2-3 inches long, no strength to it to go thru layers of leather or vinyl in my book.
