Snap Setter Tool008.4Why go to a custom repair shop to fix your canvas snaps when you can quickly and easily do it yourself with the Snap Setter snap setting tool? With snap-shaped dies welded directly to a rugged locking plier, the Snap Setter Snap Setting Tool is designed to install the cap (dome) of the snap directly to the canvas. The locking plier design provides greater leverage than die-and-peg snap tools and will last much longer than the light duty snap pliers you see in some marine stores.FeaturesSet your own snaps with the Snap Setter ToolHeavy-duty locking plier with welded snap diesGreat value compared to cheaper tools or more expensive locking plier optionsWorks on the dome (cap) side of the snap onlyWorks with virtually all boat snapsNickel plated finish resists rust and corrosion

Just to let you know (review stated no directions) that you turn it around to install a male snap. You place the flat back of the male snap up against the concave bowl where the female snap head would sit, center as best you can and gently squeeze, open and rescrew and squeeze again. Be sure to punch a hole first for new snap installations with a nice sharp awl that is tapered. The diameter of the awl should match the diameter of the snap post. Essentially a rivet. This is for canvas to canvas snapping, otherwise, install the male snap end always when screwing down to a hard surface. Hope this helps.

A couple of problems. 1-No instructions. 2-only does the outer snap, not the inside or male side of the snap. Most snap setters adjust to do both sides of the snap. This is what I expected with this one. How do you do the other side if replacing the entire snap or adding a new one?
The good news is that it did work. You just have to close the plyers, open and adjust, close again, repeat this step over and over until you can't close the plyers anymore. It did do a good job.
