Will this work with stainless steel snaps? I have a fasco tool and it doesn't so am hoping this will. Thanks.

I used mine with long barrel SS snaps. I had to gradually increase the clamp pressure in order to avoid smashing the barrel. It took about 9 or 10 increases in pressure (rotating the snap during the pressure increases helped also) but eventually I could get it set very well.

Oh yes all marine fasteners are stainless this tool will crimp anything you put in it :)

Wow, the snaps on mine are tight but I haven't experienced this. I would try gripping the mesh in between the 2 snaps but close to one of them and pulling apart from there, or carefully pry between the two halves of the snap itself with a screwdriver. Good Luck and I hope that helps!!!

The snap is made of nylon. I believe it is all nylon, not plastic. I'm not at home to actually see it though. Seems to work well for me.

I have this kit - installed several new utility snaps on boat canvas. The only thing in the kit that has a size is the screws (snaps themselves are standard). I believe that the screws are #8 which is typical for mounting in fiberglass. You can also find stainless steel snaps with a #10 screw here on Amazon (I did) if any of the holes on your mounting surface are stripped.

Yes, I purchased this item and it is the best at installing snaps, no more mHammer and little peg, it also lets you get more pressure on the snap so it sets better and doesn't come loose

Hey CPA, from the bottom front female snap fasteners, look along the bottom inner seam for a corresponding male snap fastener. Wrap the female fastener around each of your legs BACKWARDS and snap onto the corresponding male fastener. Strange design but it seems to work OK. I hope my explanation is clear...

Good question and I am not sure. But being that cold bluing is a rusting agent I really don't think it would work on stainless steel. JMO

Mine has metal snaps. This is a great product and holds the 38 spcl speedloaders comfortably.

I have not had a problem with my snap at all, and it works great for me, but again I am just a casual user nothing like a professional.

I used the Dritz Heavy Duty Snap Fastener Plier Kit it was shown where the snaps were.....

Hi Ramon, I have not used the Eastwood for Stainless Steel ties so I am not sure if it would work. I have only used it for the Nylon/plastic ties.

I am not sure about the snap top. We have snap top bottles. It is an amazing discovery. I would definitely try on the snap tops. It is not the most expensive item and well worth the money if it works.

I don't know about plastic snaps , I used it on the snaps on the bed cover on a pickup to fix a couple and it worked great . I would think if the inner piece is metal or brass and outer is plastic it would work just fine.

No. These are meant for plasic snaps only. There are other snap setting pliers for metal snaps.
