Frequently Asked Questions
Which Occidental Leather suspenders is this kit designed for?
The 5009C repair kit is designed specifically for Occidental Leather's flagship 5009 Leather Work Suspenders and 5055 Stronghold® Suspension System. It can also be adapted to repair other leather suspender brands using similar strap and snap configurations.
What tools are needed to install the replacement snaps?
To set the included copper rivets and burrs, you'll need standard shop tools: wire cutters or end nippers to trim the excess rivet shank, a hammer, and ideally a rivet setter or small metal socket to drive the copper burr down tightly before peening.
Are instructions included with the kit?
Yes. The kit comes with step-by-step instructions on how to remove old fasteners and hand-set solid copper rivets and burrs onto thick harness leather.
Why does Occidental use copper rivets instead of standard hollow metal rivets?
Solid copper rivets and burrs are the gold standard in heavy leathercraft. Unlike hollow steel pop rivets that pull through leather under load, peened solid copper creates a permanent, non-rusting mechanical bond that will never pull out under the weight of loaded framing bags.
How many snap clips are included?
The kit includes 4 snap clips—enough to replace all front and rear connection points on your suspension system—along with 5 rivet and burr sets (providing an extra rivet pair for peace of mind).
