Can this work on a metal snaps as well?

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

I have only been using it to replace snaps that failed. Already had the hole in place. But I don't think it will create the hole. You best try an awl or similarly pointed object to create the opening for the 'stem' of the top snap to pass through.

It is good for plastic bumpers. For metal I would recommend a stronger drill bit.

I don't think so. It's more for plastics and fiberglas. I have never tried it on metal, but, I don't think this is the product for that job.

I've never tried it on plastic but think it would. It worked well on everything I used it on.

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

The function of one snap will vary with the angle. Easy to unsnap with a side lifting motion a stright pull or a flat shearing pull will hold much additional. I doubt if one snap will hold ten pounds in all situations. Never researched it but would figure that SOMEWHERE there is an obscure chart with the load ratings. I have used this size for years for sail covers, window/rain flaps for boat enclosures and tops with no obvious failures of the snaps. Proper installation & spacing will insure best results.

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.

I don't know as I didn't use it on plastic. I don't see why it wouldn't. The best thing would be to try it and see.

I don't think that would be a very good idea .It works great on sheet metal and thin plastics basically anything you can cut easily with tin snips its just a lot faster

I use mainly a set of wahl metal snap on combs but I've also used plastic andis, most snap on combs are universal.

I haven't, personally. But I would think it would be useful for any tightly seamed snap joints. Actually, I just gave it a go on my XBox controller and, yes, once you remove the six screws, it will work like a charm.

Yes, depending where its lodged. I haven't tried it but it should its metal.

Yes. Just be careful when removing. It can snap unless you pull it out straight.

I have used it to create boat covers so I feel sure that it will. The only thing that I caution you about is that you purchase high quality (probably marine/stainless steel) snaps.

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!
