As a beginner sewer, I tried saving money and bought a cheapie snap tool on Amazon. After spending many frustrating times trying to get snaps on right, I gave up and bought the KAMsnaps brand. It's orders of magnitude better, and honestly, the cost isn't that much more. Especially when you consider how many hours you save working with subpar tools and how many snaps you ruin with a crappy tool. Just buy KAMSnaps to begin with and ignore cheaper options. This tool WORKS and the snaps are good quality. Will definitely keep shopping here.
