Will these pliers crimp stainless steel snaps?

Yes this comes with Stainless Snaps and it works great !! Best money I've spent in a while next to the snap opener

MY guess is that they will not work on stainless steel snaps since the insert in the pliers is made from some type of plastic and would not be hard enough to bend stainless steel.

Yes, but will need to be cut. You will have to either be a handyman or hire one. The black caps pop off the end, cut 1/16 to 1/8" gauge steel then snap the ends back on. Thank you.

No, you need to go to a Lowes or Home Depot and purchase a tool for just stainless rings. If you are doing work inside in a dry area copper will work. Outside go stainless for sure. I bought the crimp tool for copper and sent it back based on the plumber advising me. He lent me his stainless crimper unit. Units are about the same at Amazon as are the stores. it is a great system to replace copper tubing. Enjoy.

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

yes , i use them on tool steels up to 65rockw. stainless is much softer but tough.

If the metal shanks are relatively small and are made from a soft metal like copper, brass, or aluminum, I believe these will work. We use these for video installation work for flush cutting plastic wire ties and for electronic circuit board repair and manufacturing. These cut up to 18 to 20 gage copper without any damage to the cutting surfaces.

Hi Ramon, I have not used the Eastwood for Stainless Steel ties so I am not sure if it would work. I have only used it for the Nylon/plastic ties.

It helps to have a"crimping" pliers but if you are careful needle nose pliers will work also. If the product already has wires attached as shown then "butt joint" connectors will work very well(just be sure to remove the plastic coating from about 1/4" at the edn of the wire.

I don't know but I know the snaps have not changed. I replaced snaps on 1994 equipment and they were the identical.So I would assume the tools would work as well.

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!

I don't know about plastic snaps , I used it on the snaps on the bed cover on a pickup to fix a couple and it worked great . I would think if the inner piece is metal or brass and outer is plastic it would work just fine.

Probably...It's been awhile since I'd ordered these to replace broken buttons on a snow removal 'roof rake' and a senior citizen family member's adjustable chair. Measure the button/protruding pin diameter, the 1/4 inch(6mm) will work with @1/2 in. to @7/8 in. tubing (.45-.87). The VALCO Valley Tool & Die, Inc. website appears to have a brief video 'How to select a snap Button' that should ensure that you select the appropriate variation for your application. There are 1000 variations I just ordered a ".250 single end spring leg snap button" since I was dealing with aluminum tubing with light to moderate loading. Good luck, hope this helps you.

There is no reason they wouldn't work. Might need longer zip ties depending on how big around it is. We used it on a 1 inch diameter stainless frame.

I've used them on hard stainless steel with good results. These bits are tough, but I bought a couple sets just to have spares.

Yes, these pliers will work on the smaller tension clamps. I found the pair with the round pads are better for grabbing the tabs on the clamp.

Hello Scott,I bought these crimpers earlier this summer. I have used them for both mono and wire leaders and making 'double hook rigs' and have not had the slightest problem. They're great. Jim
