I see everyone talking about this doing eyelets but can it also be used to apply metal snaps ?

Looking at the directions the "common settings" are eylets/w washers and flat embellishments. The sizes are 3/16" and 1/8". I've only used the eyelets. I did a little search and there were a few sites that said you can use metal snaps with the tool, but you should do a more extensive search than I. I wish I had a more definitive answer for you, but I hope it helped some.

It could be used by snapping off plastic catcher. BUT, these are very sharp; but toe nails are usually pretty thick and gnarly. Buy one that has big handle with wide area for leverage. It should be straight across not curved face to prevent in-grown nails. The handle on mine is covered in large blue plastic spoon like handle for leverage.

I used with my metal bands because I already had them. See this website for instructions: http://www.reusablecanninglids.com/How_Do_They_Work_.html

Mine has metal snaps. This is a great product and holds the 38 spcl speedloaders comfortably.

Not recommended. I used it with a carbon post, which did snap. I believe it was due to the way this system mounts.

I doubt it - unless you're using snaps that are the same marine size and grade on the clothing. If you are, then it should work just fine.

I have never used it for eyeglasses, so I can't accurately say how it would do on them.I use it primarily for my retainers, and for jewelry.

Yes ...this is a glue kit. Not a Snap-Tite kit. The best is to use a lliquid glue. There are a lot of choices out there...Tenex, Testors ....etc; hold this helps

In theory, this type of tool will do this. For me, this tool was not useful for anything. I'm accustomed to the all metal type of tape binding presser foot and this did not compare in any way.

I do not see any reason why it would not be OK for metal frame. In the worst case you can add additional 2 small screws in the existing holes. but i do not think it is neseccasry. You can also add more webbing strips to reduce the load on each one of the strips.

I have used sheet metal screws on an application and it worked just fine. Be sure the use a similar screw size. Go for it!

Yes you can, that's the first thing I did was use it as a plastic welder. I used it to repair a crack on my motorcycle fairing.

Probably - this treatment seems to work on most synthetic/plastic materials - not meant for metal

According to the description it can be used with "metal connector nails". The problem is there are no metal connector nails available so the metal connector tip is useless. I was very disappoint with the nailer after finding out Bostitch did not provide support by supplying nails it said the nailer could use.

For metal you'd be much better off using a carbide or titanium countersink. Amazon has a variety available.

Use it like a little hammer. The silver pointy side should work- but when I tested it, the tool broke after multiple failed blows to the side window of a car in a junkyard. I would not bet my life on this product.

No. These are meant for plasic snaps only. There are other snap setting pliers for metal snaps.
