The description says this is "designed to install the cap (dome)". Does this tool install BOTH sides (male and female) of a snap fastener, or not?

I think there are two different groups of people looking at this product. If you are looking at doing Line 24 leather snaps it works great for the female but will not work on the male snap. It is too bad. If the manufacturer reads this make the top just a little smaller so it will fit in the male cap as well. Then you will be opening up the market for this to people who are doing leather working as well. I don't know if I will send mine back or not as it does an excellent job on the female side but probably would not have purchased it if I knew it did not do the male side. Not sure why some people here answered that it would work. I think there are two different groups of people looking at this product.

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

It ONLY does the cap side. I am returning mine because the response I read said it did both.

I have only installed the cap snaps, looking at it I don't believe it would work without making a tooling adaptor. It works good for the caps.

Only does female side, other side usually screwed to fiberglass or aluminum.

I've installed two of these and they work great. It is not really a "male-female" structure, rather there are inter-locking tabs or hooks on the two flanges. It makes for a nice attachment that locks in to place solidly yet unhooks and comes apart easily as well.

yes. the cap has a screw to remove spring from guide-rod. change springs and use 1 guide-rod.

I have found the cap to be troublesome also and sometimes it really takes a lot of strength to remove it. Although I have not tried it, I know a wrench is specifically made to fit over the top of the cap to turn it more easily.

Both ends have a hex of different sizes. Two sizes, one socket. In the middle of each flip socket is a 1/2" drive tang that you slip the extension that comes with the kit into the opposite end that you need for the lug nuts. Think of it working like any other socket except there's a an extra socket sticking out.

I am sorry you are missing the other hook because they actually screw into each other through the dome. I can't see how any other hook would work. They are the exact mirror image of each other. I would return it and get another one. I a surprised amazon hasn't taken care of that for you.

I installed mine about 8 months ago. It was very simple to do as instructions were very clear. Once the new cap is put on there's a bit of a tight space to tighten one side of it, but unless you have hands like Shaq, you should be able to manage.

sorry for the slow reply and my answer isn't going to help because I apparently miss placed my torque wrench but I think you can measure in both directions? I used it to torque gas keys on my ar and scope mounts I was very pleased with the wrench.

Yes. It just snaps on. You can release one side then the other. It really is a great product.

Both ends are 'male'. I mistakenly bought this to try and extend my cargo carrier. Had to send back.

Just one side. They give you everything you need in the kit. I was able to do this my self, but I don't recommend it. You have to turn the tail gate sideways and the gate is heavy. Also they give you blue lock tite. Use red the blue gives up and the cable and piston hit each other. And the nut come loose.but all in all it helps a lot when your hands are ful

Did you try to put it on? I know it appears to be round, but mine snaps onto the square drive of the tool just fine. Then, each bit can be locked into the opposite end. Hope this helps!

I believe that it does fit both sides. It has multiple mounting holes and the motor doesn't care which direction it goes.

Not really I bought one, the side (sometimes both side) keep popping off so just about every time I have to hook one side back on in order to use it, sometimes I don't get it snapped on tight enough and it pops back off. Other than that it gets the job done. Hope this helps.

It snaps into place. There are screws that hold some parts of the unit itself together - but it doesn't screw into the roof at all. It was very easy to install and is very sturdy.

Yes it has 3 terminals. But the outside diameter is larger than your normal run cap, but just use a longer screw and it will work fine.

Well this tool is made for lug nuts that has 6 gaps. Thats a hub cap wouldnt it just pop out?
