An example to illustrate how to use dies and hardware together is as follows:
Suppose you wanted to set some Line 20 Brass snaps in a piece of leather. You would start by locating the snap hardware. There are 4 pieces that make up a snap: cap, socket, stud, and post.
Next, you would locate the snap die parts. Again, there are 4 parts to a snap die.
