'Pull The Dot' Press studs

[leaky5]

Does anyone know of a UK supplier of ‘Pull The Dot’ press studs (like the ones in the photo). I have found a few Marine suppliers who stock some, but they don’t seem to have ones like in the picture.

Hope someone provides a steer as they do look very rugged and ideal for a number of small projects I have in mind. They may however be a Trade only supply item and/or subject to a minimum order in the hundreds if not thousands. Hope I'm wrong though.

They look good.

I'm just off the phone to this company and they are going to send me some price & min. order details.

I'd probably be interested in a group buy.

I'll keep you posted

edit:

Softbitsshop & Kayospruce also have them.

Until you realise that you need to pull the side with the dot, they are almost impossible to undo accidently.

Just found one place and it looks like they work out about £71 for 100.

The only fly in the ointment is the tooling required to set them.

These guys have them, not cheap, they work out about £2.50 per connection. I have found a boat shop on my route into work who have stainless ones, I might buy a couple from there first and see if my setting tool will work with them
