I have one of those sanp kits from west marine. The snaps don't last long. Then i got some good stainless steel snaps from sailrite and the tool that comes from west marine won't compress the pin to hold the snap in place

You might have some problems with that when using on different thickness's of fabric. I say this because neither one of the snap dies pivot. The jaws will not be parallel to each other all the time. I will try to find a photo of the one with a pivoting head. I purchased one from Great Lakes Boat Tops. It cost just a bit more than the ebay one you showed.

I have been using this one for years. If you already have vise grips this is just the end pieces.

I tried the west marine kit and the pliers cracked when I squeezed them. I ended up using them to get the snap set, then had to take some channel locks on the end of them to squeeze it down. I bought the punch style kit that you hit with a hammer and it works great on all snaps. I know it is more of a pain, but it does a nice job and won't break and fits any thickness of material.

After using all that other garbage, and getting aggravated and frustrated, I spent the money on the Hoover. Best money spent in a long time. Bought a real hole punch as well. Can't think of the brand name, but it was not cheap either.
