Is the snap hook on a scissor case belt a consumable? How to deal with breakage and repair options
Recently, we've received an increasing number of inquiries regarding the repair of hardware (snap hooks) attached to scissoring case belts.
This time, we'd like to briefly summarize and introduce the details.
Is scissoring case belt hardware a consumable?
The snap hooks used on scissoring case belts are subjected to significant stress during daily use.
In particular, the risk of damage increases due to the friction and metal fatigue caused by the rotation of the hardware.
Even within the category of "snap hook," there are various types.
At BLINK SCISSORS CASE, we have tried several different snap hooks over the years.
We inspect the condition of the snap hooks every time we receive a repair request and have continually improved them to be as durable as possible. As a result, we have finally arrived at snap hooks of satisfactory quality, and the number of breakages has almost disappeared.
What should I do if the hardware breaks?
Please consider snap hooks as consumables. If one breaks, we recommend first checking with the shop where you purchased it to see if it can be repaired.
If you intend to use your scissoring case for a long time, it's reassuring to check for "repair availability" before making a purchase.
If repairs are difficult at the store of purchase, it's a good idea to consult a specialized bag repair shop.
BLINK does not repair items from other stores
BLINK LEATHER WORKS sometimes receives repair requests for scissoring cases purchased from other stores, but unfortunately, we do not handle repairs for other brands.
The reason is that we do not have the knowledge and system to handle all products, unlike specialized repair shops.
We will responsibly handle repairs for BLINK scissoring cases.
However, if it's a scissoring case we've manufactured, we are familiar with its structure and material characteristics, so we will responsibly handle the repairs.
If you are experiencing difficulties, we can also introduce you to a trustworthy repair specialist.
