Sailrite® Snap Fastener Deluxe Installation Tool

I did not want to spend a lot of money on the "professional" snap tool, so purchased this for attaching a few snaps to sunbrella fabric. The tool is very easy to use, and I would recommend this for a project with a small amount of snaps. Unfortunately, I did not realize I should buy the hold puncher as well, because as the videos show, an awl does not work. So invest in the punch tool as well to make the job a lot easier

Nice Snap Fastner Deluxe install tool, works very well. Easy to use.

I have been sewing canvas and sail projects for several years. I usually only make things for my personal cars, boats, furniture, Etc. However, a friend came to me a couple of days ago and asked me to make a cover for his companionway on his sailboat. Not a complicated project, but it had many snaps. I had a snap replacement kit, you know the kind with the little silver sliding snap pounder (bender). Well, when I started to set the snap for this cover, I was ruining two for every acceptable one I did. This new tool is awesome. I have set 30+ snaps this past weekend and only ruined one (my screw up!) Make sure to use it on a very solid surface.
It also works great for setting the rivets in the permalock 1/4 turn fasteners!
Great tool, I should have bought one a long time ago.

Does the job first time, every time. NO MORE WASTED SNAPS!!!

Solid. It worked perfectly the first time I used it.
