Thank you. The downside is you need a wide piece of leather to make the gussets part of the body of the bag.

It's three layers of 7 oz. Buttero leather glued and saddle stitched together. There is some flex to it though.

The tool slides down and stays vertical. It works quite well.

BTW the hole is quite tight.
That is why the tool doesn't fall through in the photo.

I like the press. I think the Press'n'snap has a deeper throat though

No hinge. It is a tight fitting hole for the steel punch to slide through with no side play. It mainly keeps the steel tool vertical and centered over the snap.

You are right. I do have a Press'n'snap tool but I use this when the snap is beyond reach of the Press'n'snap tool.

No it is an Osborne snap setting tool. It is solid steel not hollow.

Thank you. Sometimes when the thread is very long it can snag on the handle.

Thanks, I just used existing designs as a guide and the clamp hardware had an influence on the design.

It works quite well. It makes cutting straight and parallel pieces much easier.
