Set Up a Multi-Purpose Fastener Workstation
This all-in-one manual hand press kit is made for apparel makers, sewing studios, bag workshops and small manufacturers that install several types of textile hardware. It combines the press, application-specific dies and matching components in one package, reducing the need to source every part separately.
The kit includes one M0099 manual hand press, 11 setting dies and 3,425 hardware components. The supplied tooling covers press pearls, jeans buttons, open-ring prong snaps, pearl-finish snaps, 54 System and Alfa snap fasteners, eyelets and fabric covered buttons.
Each included die is intended for a specific fastener system and size. Changing the upper and lower die allows the same press to move from one compatible application to another.

Why Choose a Multi-Application Press Kit?
A single-purpose tool can restrict a workshop to one size or fastener family. This kit provides several application-specific dies from the beginning, making it easier to prepare samples, test product ideas and accept work involving different types of clothing hardware.
The included inventory also allows the user to begin working with the listed fasteners without purchasing each matching component separately. Before production, always test the die alignment, press pressure and fastener performance on a sample of the actual material.
Expand Your Production Range with Additional Dies
The manual hand press can be used with other technically compatible setting dies. You can later add applications for other sizes of snap fasteners, grommets, eyelets, rivets, jeans buttons or fabric covered buttons.
This expandable structure is especially valuable for workshops that expect their product range to change. When a new hardware type is needed, you can purchase the correct compatible die instead of automatically purchasing another press.
Explore setting dies and application tools for snaps, grommets, rivets, jeans buttons, press pearls and fabric covered buttons.
If you need the machine separately, review the M0099 manual hand press.
Who Should Choose This Kit?
- Small apparel manufacturers
- Fashion sampling and product development studios
- Alteration and custom sewing businesses
- Denim and workwear makers
- Bag and textile accessory workshops
- Costume and boutique clothing producers
- Businesses adding new clothing-hardware services
Setting Die Compatibility: Check More Than the Diameter
A visible diameter match does not guarantee die compatibility. The fastener system, cap construction, socket, stud, post, washer, lower component and material thickness must be considered together.
The 11 dies supplied with this kit are selected for the included M0099 manual hand press and the listed components. When ordering a new die for this machine, select the connection option specified for the M0099 press.
M6 Thread Information for US and International Machines
If a setting die will be used with a press purchased in the United States or another international market, check the upper die thread before ordering. Many imported and international machines use an M6 metric connection, but not every machine follows the same standard.
M6 and 1/4"-20 UNC are not interchangeable. Their diameters may appear similar, but their thread pitch and profile are different. Never force an M6 die into a 1/4"-20 threaded machine connection.
If you are unsure, send us a clear photo of your machine's upper die connection and an existing die, if available. Our team can help you identify the appropriate connection before you place the order.
Eyelet Hole Preparation
This package includes the setting die for the listed No. 24 eyelet. A separate hole-punching die is not listed among the included tools. Depending on the application material and eyelet construction, you may need to prepare a correctly sized hole before setting the eyelet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the kit include the manual hand press?
Yes. One M0099 manual hand press is included with 11 setting dies and 3,425 hardware components.
Can I install different fastener types with the same press?
Yes. Install the setting die that matches the exact fastener system and size. The press can then be used for the compatible application.
Can I purchase more dies for this press later?
Yes. Additional technically compatible dies can be added for other snap, grommet, eyelet, rivet, jeans button and fabric covered button applications.
Are the 54 System and Alfa snap dies interchangeable?
No. They are different snap fastener systems. This kit supplies a separate die for the 12.5 mm / 0.49 in 54 System snap and another die for the 15 mm / 0.59 in Alfa snap.
Does the eyelet setting die punch the hole?
A separate hole-punching die is not listed as part of the kit. The material may need to be punched before the eyelet is installed.
Should US customers select M6 dies?
Many international machines use M6 upper die threads, but not all machines do. Check your machine specifications before ordering. M6 and 1/4"-20 UNC threads are not mechanically interchangeable.
Is the kit intended only for beginners?
No. It can be used for product sampling, custom orders and repeated small or medium workshop production. Actual production capacity depends on the application, material, operator setup and required output.
