ive only ever used a  hoover press n snaps for 21 years at first I only had 1 then onbe day with only aa few snaps left to install on a like 3k enclosure I dropped the tool on 12 feet of water it waqs a Friday afternoon and the customer was coming tio get the boat and pay me , what to do I had a bait shop also and a tall store sign with changeable letters so I had a long pole to change the letters I duct taped a fish landing net to it and I dragged the bottom under the dock for the longest time going ober large rock I lost hope of getting the tool back , I prayed bid help me and gave it one more try and low and behold I got the snap tool :)
ive got about 6 now some that have worn out the tighning bolt
