Best rivet press for bag making10/2/2023 ![]() So I waited for about a month (because I wanted the pink one and I was willing to wait for it). Right after that video all of her followers went out and bought the rivet presses! The company was so overloaded with orders that they had to backorder my rivet press. I think my biggest obstacle turned out to be that I just didn’t know what to order. I was thrilled when one of my favorite youtubers, Oklaroots, did a whole video just about the rivet press and showed how to use it and what supplies are the best for bag making. I also have to find space to store all the separate cutting dies and rivets/snaps in various metallics. ![]() So, if I’ve been committed to this for over two years and have already invested in lots of other supplies, why deny myself the rivet press? I guess I was just trying to determine if I really needed it. And it also comes with a hole punch attachment that goes through these thick layers much better than me trying to crunch through them with a hand held tool. That worked for a while but once I figured out that, yes, I’m going to be using these other materials on a regular basis, it just made more sense to get the press. My temporary solution was to get Chicago Screws and use those instead. ![]() After working with materials such as cork and vinyl, it’s really something I would need in order to attach handles correctly and make certain details look more finished. Like it was somehow a luxury that I wasn’t worthy of. For some reason the thought of buying a rivet press (which is much cheaper than other equipment I have purchased since starting this journey) just seemed like an extravagance. I have a stupid little hand rivet setter with the hammer but they never seem to stay in place or they are mangled. I’ve been dreaming about getting a rivet press for a while now.
