SnapRite® Twist-Lock Die is a uniquely designed die that installs Twist-Lock fasteners to canvas using many standard rivet tools (we recommend the Professional Rivet Installation Tool, #103520). This die works in conjunction with the SnapRite Button Die to quickly and easily install Twist-Lock, also known as Common Sense®, fasteners.

Install Twist-Lock fasteners on your boat for accurate positioning. The key to this system is the use of a SnapRite Mandrel and using snap components that have a hole down the center. The SnapRite Twist-Lock Die Kit requires the use of SnapRite Buttons. The purchase of the 1/8" Drill Hole Cutter (sold separately) makes cutting holes for the buttons easy. This system works with most standard rivet tools.

SnapRite Twist-Lock Die Kit Instructions:

1. Place fastener on fabric and mark the desired location.
2. Using the cutting block as a backer, drill holes in the marked location.
3. Depress the levers and screw in the button die into the rivet tool.
4. Place a mandrel through the hole in the Twist-Lock Die.
5. Line up the fastener snap through the bottom so the barrel protrudes.
6. Guide the mandrel through the button into the rivet gun.
7. Be sure the mandrel is flush with the bottom on the Twist-Lock Die.
8. Use the tool to rivet the button.
9. Repeat for the second button.
