These are the greatest thing! I hate the screw posts and these are so much easier to work with!

I have been scrapbooking for years and hated adding those screw bindings but the scrapbook hinge kit is wonderful &so easy to attach to you scrapbook. It's a must try item.

If you do much scrapbooking, you know how difficult it is to unscrew the tiny silver screws that hold the binder together. They also limit the amount of pages you can add. Snap-load is perfect and does exactly what it's advertised to do. It's easy to take pages in and out of the scrapbook with snap-load and you can add more pages with no trouble at all. This product works and is easy to use. I highly recommend it.

There's are a marvelous invention for adding pages to scrapbooks! Beats the old screw style method. I love this product. Fast shipping impressed me too!

I had difficulty figuring out how to use it then it didn't work in the album that I purchased it for.

This product is the best thing ever for replacing the metal posts in a scrapbook. It is simple to use and perfect for extending your scrapbook albums. I love this product!!

I really hate the posting system used in most albums but I am not sure if this is the best solution. I put this system in two albums and it is not that much easier than the post system. The straps tend to come out of the thing they are supposed to stay in. The jury is still out on this solution.

I purchased this product to replace the posts in a photo album. The concept is original but the product did not work well. The adhesive came loose while trying to install the Snapload; the strap would not lock and would not 'snap' into place as described. I finally threw the product away and returned to using the posts.

They don't work well at all

I always keep several on hand for friends who scrapbook with me. No more posts! These are fantastic, and make it so easy to put in additional pages.

I love converting my post albums to strap albums with these. They are easy to use. Once done you can add pages easily and your albums can expand more. No more posts breaking. Also, you can use almost any brand page refill with these and they fit.

Very convenient and easy to use.

allows scrapbook user to add many pages beyond the posts that come with the scrapbook. strong - holds up to long term use

I am so glad to have discovered snapload retrofit. Many scrapbooks come with the metal posts which I find very difficult to use and unstable for my large scrapbooks. The snapload straps expand as large as needed, hold a heavy load of pages securely and easy to use. Thank you for making them!

L-O-V-E this!! Albums will lay flat and are stable using them!!
Liz - 07/31/2011
I really like these expanders because thy are so mucheasier to use than those stupid short screws. I can make my scrapbook as big as I need to without worrying.
Victoria V - 07/29/2011
I bought three sets of these things and I have yet to figure it out how they fit in my albums. The instructions are so vague. I've wasted two of the tabs trying to get these things installed. I'm very disappointed.

I bought a snapload set at a craft store and then ordered more through Get Smart with my 11x14 scrapbooks. I thought they were a great idea and replaced the posts with the straps. They wouldn't hold and the book fell apart. I thought they would be perfect because my books are really thick and heavy and the straps are certainly long enough to accommodate many pages. I was disappointed with the product. I returned the snapload sets and ordered more packages of posts.

It took a bit of figuring out, but the product worked fine. My 52 year old wedding album is whole again.
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
