Choosing leather hardware, patterns & care for a repair or DIY project comes down to the fastening job: do you need double-cap rivets in a broad assortment, or button snaps with installation tools? The $3.50 price spread matters, but the hardware type matters more.
Quick verdict
Choose 480 Sets Rivets for Leather when you want double-cap rivets for belt repairs, leather decoration, or projects that benefit from multiple colors and sizes. Choose the Leather Snap Fasteners Kit when the job specifically calls for press studs or button snaps in several listed sizes and a four-tool setup.
The two kits are not interchangeable in purpose. One is a rivet assortment; the other is a snap-fastener kit. That distinction should decide the purchase before price does.

Where each product wins
- For assortment-driven leather work: The rivet set wins with its 480-set format, four colors, and three sizes. It is the more direct fit for someone planning several rivet repairs or decorative projects.
- For snap-style closures: The snap-fastener kit wins because its title specifically identifies metal button snaps, press studs, and four tools. It is the clearer match for leather, canvas, jeans, jackets, or bags that need a snap fastening.
- For the lower listed price: The snap-fastener kit has the lower price, with a $3.50 spread between the two choices.
Product notes
480 Sets Rivets for Leather
The 480-set format is the main reason to choose this rivet kit: it is built around double-cap rivets in four colors and three sizes, with three setting tools included. That combination suits a leather crafter handling several repair or decoration jobs, including belts, shoes, hats, jeans, jackets, or added ornaments. The description also identifies copper construction with plated color finishes, giving the set a defined material and finish direction. The limitation is functional rather than broad: rivets are not the direct match when a project specifically needs a press-stud closure that opens and closes. The tool complement is three setting tools, so it is a different setup from the snap kit's four-tool format. At USD 16.95, choose the set when rivet variety matters more than a snap-fastener solution.
Leather Snap Fasteners Kit
Choose the Leather Snap Fasteners Kit when the project calls for metal button snaps or press studs rather than rivets. Its title specifies 10/12/15mm snap sizes and four tools, while the description names leather, canvas, jeans, jackets, bags, and other craft or clothing uses. That makes the intended job clear: adding a snap-style fastening with an installation setup included. The limitation is equally specific: it is not the direct match for double-cap rivets, belt-rivet repairs, or decorative rivet work. Its defined hardware purpose is button snaps, so a crafter seeking a broad rivet assortment would need the other kit instead. At USD 13.45, select it when snap function and the four-tool setup matter more than a large rivet assortment.
Final choice by use case
- Belt repairs or decorative rivet work: Pick 480 Sets Rivets for Leather, 4 Colors 3 Sizes Leather Rivets, Double Cap Rivets because the product is explicitly built around double-cap rivets and multiple assortment choices.
- Button-style closures on leather, canvas, clothing, or bags: Pick Leather Snap Fasteners Kit 10/12/15mm Metal Button Snaps Press Studs With 4 Tool for its snap-specific format and installation tools.
- Price-led shopping between these two kits: Pick the snap-fastener kit; the absolute price spread is $3.50.
The simplest decision is to match the hardware to the task. Rivet work points to the 480-set assortment, while press-stud work points to the snap-fastener kit.
