Choosing between a snap set and a rivet kit for leather hardware, patterns & care comes down to the job: do you need a defined closure for thicker leather, or a flexible assortment with multiple colors, sizes, and setting tools? The Black Line 24 Snaps focus on one snap format, while the 240 Set Leather Rivets covers a broader range of rivet work. Match the hardware type to the project first, then weigh the price difference.
Quick verdict
Choose Black Line 24 Snaps when your project needs Line 24 snap hardware with a 5/16-inch post and a stated fit for 8-10 oz leather. Choose 240 Set Leather Rivets when you want 240 double-cap rivets in four colors and three sizes, along with a punch and two installation tools. The first is the focused closure choice; the second is the broader rivet kit.

Where each one wins
Black Line 24 Snaps
This set wins when the project calls for a snap closure rather than a selection of rivets. The 5/16-inch post and 19/32-inch cap give the hardware a clearly defined format, while the stated 8-10 oz leather range points toward thicker leather or layered material. The 100-pack is also a practical fit for a project requiring a consistent run of matching snaps. Its limitation is focus: the package centers on Line 24 snap hardware, so it does not offer the four-color, three-size rivet assortment or the punch and installation tools included with the rivet kit.
240 Set Leather Rivets
The rivet kit wins on assortment and included setup pieces. Its 240 double-cap rivets span four colors and three sizes, giving you more selection when the visible hardware or rivet dimensions need to vary across a leather project. The included punch, two installation tools, and separated plastic storage box make the package more self-contained for rivet work. Its limitation is the hardware type: double-cap rivets are not the Line 24 snap closure specified by the Black Line set. If the project depends on a snap-opening design, the rivet assortment is not a substitute.
Product notes
Black Line 24 Snaps - 5/16-inch Post & 19/32-inch Cap
The clearest reason to choose this set is its focused snap specification: Line 24 hardware with a 5/16-inch post and 19/32-inch cap, paired with a stated fit for 8-10 oz leather. That makes the selection straightforward for a thicker leather project that needs a snap closure instead of a rivet. The listed 100-pack also suits a build that calls for a defined quantity of matching snaps. The limitation is equally specific: the package is centered on one snap format, not a mix of rivet colors and sizes. Choose it for closure hardware; choose the 240 Set Leather Rivets when included rivet-setting tools are more useful.
240 Set Leather Rivets
This kit is the better match when a project benefits from variety and setup pieces in one package. It contains 240 double-cap rivets in four colors and three sizes, plus a punch, two installation tools, and a plastic storage box that separates the hardware by size and color. That combination gives rivet-focused work more choice without requiring a separate punch and tool purchase. The limitation is that rivets serve a different role from the Line 24 snaps. A snap-dependent project should favor the Black Line 24 Snaps; a project that can use double-cap rivets gets the broader assortment here.
Final choice by use case
- For a thicker 8-10 oz leather snap closure: choose Black Line 24 Snaps, whose Line 24 format and 5/16-inch post match that stated use.
- For varied rivet colors and sizes: choose 240 Set Leather Rivets, with four colors and three sizes in one kit.
- For included setting tools: choose 240 Set Leather Rivets, which includes a punch and two installation tools.

- When price is the deciding factor: the listed-price spread is $47.38, favoring the 240 Set Leather Rivets for a lower-cost rivet-focused purchase.
