In this video, we’ll demonstrate how to use the Sailrite® HandyPress® with West Coast-style dies for double-cap rivets and round spots. Perfect for adding decorative hardware to a variety of leather projects, these dies deliver consistent results when installed on the HandyPress. Set the desired compression on the HandyPress by raising or lowering the upper shaft. Once it is set to your preference no further adjustments are required. Using the HandyPress, combined with these dies, it will consistently set double cap rivets and rounds in your leather or fabric assembly with a simple and easy pull of the hand lever. We call that process the "Sweet Spot" compression, similar to how a set of Vice-Grips™ work. Watch this video to see why the HandyPress is a must for leatherworkers who use double-cap rivets and spots.
