Will these work for installing heavy-duty, marine grade snaps?

I haven't used it for snaps, and it probably should work. You can check the company's website and contact information to seek their advice.

They are great for thin "rope" (maybe 5mm or smaller). For thick rope, you may want to try full size flag clips like these (http://www.amazon.com/Brass-Swivel-Eye-Snap-Hook/dp/B0009TILMG)

Yes, but be on the safe side and start the hole yourself with an awl. This item is strictly for installing snaps into tough material. It's just what it appears to be; a set of vise-grips with a snap fastener welded to it. It's effective but don't rely on it for precise placement of snaps.

Yes, I purchased this item and it is the best at installing snaps, no more mHammer and little peg, it also lets you get more pressure on the snap so it sets better and doesn't come loose

Of course. That is specifically what they are for. See my initial review that helps explain how to install them and why some have had problems. I have now used mine for two years now and they appear to be holding up.

I don't believe that this would work for those type of snaps as it has a post in the center to push down the center prong of the plastic snaps to flatten it. I have a separate pair of pliers for prong snaps. Hope this helps!

Yes, they snap together. They are of good quality and easy to install. You need to use good quality crimping pliers capable of crimping the 6 guage terminal ends.

Yes they're strong enough. Just make sure if you mount them to rollbar, they only fit 1 1/2 inch bar

They should be fine. I used them to mount rigid flood lights and there was no trouble.

Yes. They work very well but you have to torque the hand screws fairly tight to hold the desired position.

I actually haven't tried them for such an application but it is my impression that they will break. I would use much higher quality high speed steel drill bits for non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminum.

I used this for this exact same application and it worked perfect. Do your self a favor and get the better quality snaps. You have to squeeze them alittle at a time while turning the adjustment screw till the snap is fully squished you can not do it in one squeeze.

Can't tell you, as I used them on a trailer. Needed some heavy-duty ones and they fit the bill. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.###

Yes these will work however they are super strong and sometimes difficult (but not impossible) to pry off of one another.

That is what I am using them for. I mounted them in a pontoon boat and have had no problems.

Yes they will. But I DO NOT recommend them ! They are sturdy at first but after a year or so the 3M starts to loosen and the extreme heat make them buckle up. Then to make things worse once you fix that problem the ends began to loosen. I wound up having to use sheet metal screws to get them to stay down. My advice is pay the extra money and get the HEAVY DUTY kind. Pay a little more and have less headache. Hope this helps.
