I've used Tandy Leather in the past, when they had a store in town. Decent stuff, but it's not a complicated tool.

 

Eyelets or snaps? The tool is easy to use. The key is using quality snaps that don't break leaving the wrong sides together.

 

Tandy is good, I've been buying from them for years. I used to make custom knives and bought everything from to them for the sheaths.

The above link is for the Tandy stores in the Arizona area. Also, bring the chaps with you, someone there will help you.
