Which is the best snap press?

[melbel]

Both Snaps Australia and greenbeans sell KAM presses....they just sell slightly different "models" for want of a better term. I have the one from greenbeans as after some research I decided it was ergonomically better designed than the other one. I also have some Aussie friends who have seen it and agree that it seems to be easier to snap with than the one they have. If you look at them on one the handle is more on the top and on the other one is more to the side (back) providing better leverage when snapping. The thing is though whchevr one you choose make sure to get the die sets from the same place as the press as they both take different dies. Having said that snaps from both sellers are interchangable and will work equally well in both presses...Hope that helps!!

Melbel's snap machine bites mine from snap in the butt BIG TIME Salsa....the one from snaps is big and hurts my hands after a while while Mel's is nice and small. The one from snaps is also double the size of the greenbeans one.

Wish I would have know about the one at greenbeans before I bought mine from snaps...

Thanks guys!!
I ordered the greenbeans one last week and Dh put it together for me last night.
I also ordered 2 sz bits, 16 and 20 and some bamboo etc. Have been cutting out and sewing the past few days and will try snapping in the next day or 2. Im looking forward to other things I can make too (which is why I got the 2 szs). Even with the more expensive post (about $50NZ AU$ 70 including the fabric etc) its already working out cheaper than buying all readymade naps.
Thanks for suggesting and confirming the greenbeans.

ok, maybe I'm being thick but I cant find anywhere online except for that new zealand store that sells the kam press..even though on melbel's site it says that nappies covered sells them, I couldnt see them on there! am I being blind?

[melbel]

Just wanted to say "Thank you" for this thread!
I was jussssssssst about to buy the press from Snapsastralia, which was going to come to $150 for the press, dies, 100 snaps, and postage to WA
I checked on greenbeans after reading this, and for everything listed above paid $110!
