The only listing on ebay that are proper Marine Grade snap fasteners with tooling that crimps effectively.
Here we have a full range of genuine DOT brand snap fasteners in 316 A4 marine grade stainless steel. ( Or snaps, buttons, press snaps...... as many like to call them )
This listing is a multivariation listing. This means you have to select from the drop box what you need and then how many you require. So let me describe the function of each fasteners and their terminolgy
Caps This is the part that attaches to the top of the canvas, it is crimped to the Socket Sockets This is the part that attaches to the underneath of the canvas Studs This is the part that attached to the deck and what the Socket snaps onto Posts This part can also be crimped to the Stud above to let you attach canvas to canvas
4mm or 6mm This is basically the length of the little cylindrical posts coming from the caps and posts. Depends on your material length
Tooling I have two types of tools that will do the job. One is a hammer and punch type tool the other is simply a squeeze tool. If you have patience and do not have too many to fit then the closing tool, cutter and disc is fine. If you want a perfect join, do not need to take canopy of each time and a tool that cuts the hole and crimps in one go then the hoover tool is for you.
Important 316 snap fasteners require either of the two tools above to crimpe as they are a more robust material. There are cheaper tools on the market but they may not flare as well. I do sell Brass Nickel plated snap fasteners (silver in colour) also with lighter tools that are cost effective and give good resistance to certain environments.
