TEP-3 Hand Press Machine – Rivets, Snaps, Jean Buttons & Grommets

The TEP-3 Hand Press is a reliable, semi-professional manual machine that bridges the gap between hobby and production. Therefore, it suits shops that need portability, consistent performance, and clean, repeatable sets. The press can operate as a free-standing unit or be securely bench-mounted to fit your workspace.

Tooling & Capacity

The TEP-3 accepts interchangeable dies and handles fasteners up to #5 grommets (5/8″ ID, self-piercing).

• Top/Upper Dies: ¼″-20 UNC (threaded) or Ø9.5 mm (3/8″) smooth shank.

• Lower Die Base: Ø18.95 mm (¾″) smooth or Ø11.95 mm (15/32″) smooth.

As a result, one machine easily covers a wide range of rivets, snaps, buttons, and grommets.

Portability & Ergonomics

The compact ~20 lb design makes the TEP-3 easy to move. Consequently, you can bring the press to the job instead of moving heavy materials to the machine. The deep frame provides extra throat depth for hard-to-reach areas, which improves workflow on banners, textiles, and large panels.

Construction & Service

The body is heavy-duty sphero cast iron, ensuring maximum strength and long service life. Moreover, replacement parts and service are always available. A spacer (sold separately) extends the machine’s versatility. In short, the TEP-3 remains one of the top semi-professional hand presses across banner, textile, and alteration industries.
