To set the line 20 small jacket snaps, you need to first punch a hole in the leather for the snap cap and another hole for the snap post.  After each are inserted into the holes, place the socket over the snap cap post to be set. Under the snap cap, you will need to place a concave anvil so the cap keeps the nice curve when you set it. To do this, you need a setter to hit with a hammer that will crimp the metal snap post around the inside of the socket. The snap setter required for this size line 20 small jacket snap will not work with the larger size line 24 snaps. However the concave anvil will work with both this line 20 small size snap and the larger line 24 snaps.

When buying snaps, the thickness of leather must be considered.  These small snaps work great with 3 - 6 oz thick leather.  An oz is about 1/64 inch thick.

Following is a video showing how to set jacket snaps with long posts in thicker leather.  The procedure is the same for learning to set snaps in leather with line 20 and regular post length line 24. Just make sure you have the appropriate setter for the line of jacket snap used.  Also the mini anvil makes a great work surface instead of using a large homemade anvil shown in the video.

    Strong snaps; easy to mount

    These snaps mount solidly and easily with the simple setting tool. The snaps are strong and look great.

    Worked as advertised

    Purchased these to relocate a snap on a Leatherman utility pouch. Couldn't find them anywhere due to their smaller size.
