When shopping for leather hardware, patterns & care, the first decision is functional: do you need rivets for repairs and decorative additions, or snap fasteners for a specific closure? These kits serve different hardware formats. The rivet set emphasizes assortment, while the snap kit offers a defined size and finish. Start with the hardware your project requires, then use the included tools, material guidance, and listed price to settle the choice.
Quick verdict
Choose 480 Sets Rivets for Leather if you want a broad double-cap rivet assortment with multiple colors and sizes. Choose 70 Sets 15mm Snap Fasteners Kit if your project specifically calls for metal snaps in gun black and you prefer a more focused repair format. The listed-price difference is $3.96, but the more important distinction is rivets versus snaps.

Product notes
480 Sets Rivets for Leather
The case for this kit is breadth. Its double-cap rivets are presented as a four-color, three-size assortment, and the description names repairs, ornaments, belts, shoes, hats, jeans, and jackets. That makes it a sensible choice when one leather-craft session may involve matching different finishes or working across accessories and clothing. Three setting tools are included, another concrete reason to choose it if you want the hardware and basic setting pieces together. The limitation is the $3.96 higher listed price than the snap kit, along with an assortment that may be more than a single, narrowly defined repair requires. Choose this pack when rivet variety is central to the project.
70 Sets 15mm Snap Fasteners Kit
This kit is the more focused route for a snap-fastener repair. The listed 15mm cap and gun-black finish define the look and format, while the storage box and included installation tool make the set easier to keep together during a manual project. Its listed uses include leather craft, handbags, belts, jackets, and jeans, so it suits several familiar repair and DIY contexts. The important limitation is material weight: the guidance says it is for light to medium fabric and not thick fabric such as wool blankets. Lightweight, mesh, knitted, or stretchy fabrics may need backing to help prevent breakaway and tearing. Pick it when the snap format fits; choose the rivet kit instead when you need rivets.
Final choice by use case
For a leather-craft project built around rivets, choose 480 Sets Rivets for Leather. The broader assortment and double-cap format are the deciding reasons, especially when decorative additions or multiple repair tasks are in scope. For a snap repair, choose 70 Sets 15mm Snap Fasteners Kit. Its focused snap format, included installation tool, and $12.99 listed price make it the straightforward pick when the light-to-medium material guidance fits the job. If the hardware type is not yet fixed, decide rivets versus snaps first; the $3.96 spread is secondary to choosing the correct format.
