Fantastic New Press-N-Snap tool for poppers

So I have wanted one of these tools for years. All Caterham kit builds come with the standard durable dot tool set that you need to use a hammer to set the durable dot fasteners.

It always seemed a bit hit and miss, so I decided to do some research and found this is the preferred tool of the factory and other builders too.

It's called the Press-N-Snap tool, and is made by a US company called Hoover ( no not that one !).

It's intended use is for sailmakers etc who are manufacturing or repairing sails for sailing vessels, so if it's good enough for that job, it must be perfect for the simple jobs on a Caterham.

This is just a quick photo as it arrived from UPS, so straight out of the box.

It's a very high quality tool indeed, and looks like it will be a tool that should last a life time.

The company I purchased it online from in the us, Sailrite US Website has a full range of Press N Snap tools in stock and shipped it within a few days.

The tool comes with the dies for the popper bases, and also two other dies for different styles of poppers too.

I will post more photos later, and some of the tool in action too!

As promised here are the results of the tool in action today.
