I'm in the market for a snap press. I've been looking for a used one with no luck :(
For those of you who have one, where did you get it? Do you like it? Thanks so much for your input :)

I'll be watching this thread. I just found out that my mom HAS a snap machine. Yeah, how's that for holding out on me! anyway, now I just gotta figure out what kind of dies it uses. And if using hers is worth the emotional price IYKWIM

LOL I hope it works out for you :) Snap presses are such a big investment, but I love the functionality of snapped dipes so much that I may just have to get one.

I've been SEWING on snaps of late. all the while dreaming about resin snaps. Oh what an exciting life I lead!
I use the button sewing on feature on my machine so it goes pretty fast. I have obsessive/compulsive issues so it does ease my mind a bit that I can cut them off if they aren't "just right"
that's my one big holdback on going the snap press route.
geez, I should probably just get counseling :bang

I never thought of sewing on snaps on my machine. I'll have to see if it has a button sewing feature...
I got mine at www.diapershop.com - onestopdiapershop and they were friendly, the price was about average and it came quickly. I love having it, even though my good intentions of making lots of nappies have fallen by the wayside I still use it for lots of things :)

I did a search on ebay but there were only a couple and they were all more expensive than the snap store and onestopdiapershop :(
