Stainless snap fasteners are much "tougher" than the normal plated brass ones. They are more resistant to damage from impact with the dock or another boat than their softer brotheren. They do not necessarily provide better holding power.
Snap fasteners are excellent for securing covers, cushions, tops, etc. These are made from 100% stainless steel. They are highly resistant to corrosion and top quality.
