Press Studs & Rivets

Press Studs & Rivets for Upholstery, Trimming and Furniture Work

Livedale supplies press studs, snap fasteners, rivets and setting tools for upholstery, furniture repair, trimming, leatherwork, soft furnishings and general workshop fastening jobs. These products are used where fabric, leather, vinyl or other materials need a secure mechanical fixing rather than stitching, adhesive or decorative tacking.

This category includes snap fasteners, 9mm rivets, die sets, manual setting tools, punch pliers and press equipment for fitting press studs and rivets cleanly and consistently. Whether you are working on furniture panels, cushions, covers, leather straps, upholstery details or repair work, the correct fastening tool makes the job neater and more reliable.

Press Studs, Snap Fasteners and Rivets

Press studs and snap fasteners are useful where a fastening needs to open and close while still holding securely. They are commonly used in upholstery, covers, trimming, leatherwork and fabric projects where a practical fixing is needed.

Rivets provide a more permanent fastening and are often used where materials need to be joined firmly together. They are suitable for fabric, leather, vinyl and light-duty workshop applications where a strong mechanical fixing is preferred.

Die Sets, Setting Tools and Press Equipment

For a proper finish, press studs and rivets need to be fitted with the right setting tools. Livedale’s range includes die sets for use with the TEP-2 press, manual snap setter tools, revolving punch pliers and related equipment for preparing and setting fasteners.

The right tool helps keep the fixing straight, clean and secure. Trying to bodge these with the wrong kit usually ends the same way — damaged material, bent fittings and language not fit for a Sunday lunch table.

For Upholstery, Covers, Leatherwork and Repairs

Press studs and rivets are widely used by upholsterers, trimmers, repair workshops, soft furnishers and capable DIY users. They can be used for removable panels, loose covers, cushion details, leather tabs, straps, fabric fastenings, furniture repairs and general workshop jobs.

For best results, match the fastener size, finish and setting method to the material thickness and the amount of strain the fixing will take.
