Refitted KAM DK-98 - The Universal Hand Press for installing rivets & more
Do you still use a hammer or setter with an anvil for manual fastener application? Isn't that very inefficient and unprofessional? You should know that imperfections in your product details can ruin your designs and even damage your brand.
A hand press is essential for anyone who works with fasteners like tack buttons, rivets, snaps, eyelets, or pants hooks. Having a truly universal one is even more important. The KAM hand press, redesigned by us, will be a valuable investment for any serious fastener user. The manual hand press machine we've redesigned is the DK-98, a heavy-duty model. With the addition of two adapters and three adjustment pieces we designed, the KAM hand press becomes more versatile and professional. This upgrade is based on standard kick press machines used by most garment factories worldwide. Maximizing compatibility is the main goal of the redesign. But what exactly is that?
You might not know that the dies we made are for most factories all around the world, not for small groups of people or some of the specific branded hand presses. To apply tiny rivets to your designs. You won't spend hundreds of dollars on an industrial motor kick press machine, since you are not running a factory. You're also not manufacturing the products by yourself. You know you don't need a big tool like that taking up space in your workshop or studio. And you use it just for a piece of a salesman's sample or a minimal production. The refitted DK-98 hand press we supply is the solution and will be the best investment for DIYers, sample makers, tailors, fashion designers, professionals, workshops, or even small factories worldwide. And what makes this refitment unique is that you can directly use the dies we made for factories, achieving the same application, getting the details done professionally. You can also share the dies with your factories in the future, especially when your business is booming or experiencing a surge in demand for your products. Then what's more? Time saved, money saved. This investment will surely make you kill more than two birds with one stone!
You may wonder what makes the refitment a great investment. And here are the reasons:
REASON#1 There are two adapters from our toolset, which can fit lower dies with the most common diameters, either 12.5mm or 9.4mm(3/8”). As you can imagine, buying two different presses is far more expensive than refitting the existing one you have.
REASON#2 With the arrangement of the pieces, the die space can be enlarged up to 8.8cm (the original is 6.2cm). The bigger the space, the more flexibility in the placement of your products. 
And not just that, like above, you can also slightly adjust the die space to different cases. Imagine attaching rivets or eyelets to a shoe or even larger items, such as handbags or backpacks, and still being able to attach the fasteners more easily.
REASON#3 All the pieces, including the screws in our toolset, are entirely made from high-quality stainless steel #304, which is quite unlike the original adapter. The toolset is anti-corrosion and rustless. No maintenance is needed; they are durable, unbreakable, and likely to last forever.
REASON#4 THE REDESIGNED HAND PRESS IS COMPATIBLE WITH:
- setting dies for rivets
- setting dies for jeans buttons
- setting dies for snap fasteners
- setting dies for eyelets/grommets (self-piercing also included)
- setting dies for pants hooks
- setting dies for cord ends
- hole punch dies
- fabric cutter dies
- assembly dies
AND THERE ARE ACTUALLY MORE REASONS:
- Affordable machine.
- Simple to use. Even amateur users can operate this machine easily with little training.
- User-friendly design. Small, practical, and easy to handle. It can also be set up firmly on your working table.
- It can be universal with the adjustment pieces we supply.
- Durable machine. It could last for years.
- No special maintenance is needed.
- Robust construction and high strength.
