Handle bent during first use and the plier jaws will not close enough to crimp a snap. Recommend WM find another vendor to provide a durable crimp tool.

Comments about 72 Piece Canvas Snap Kit with Clinching Tool:
I fixed 4 snaps that had pulled through the canvas with this tool/kit without any problems. I reinforced the canvas by installing the snap through two layers of nylon strap, one in front of the canvas and one behind. I took a little time lining up the various pieces and the tool crimped everything with no problem. No bending at all, snap is nice and tight. The tool seemed plenty strong, does not require much pressure to install, so bending should not be a problem unless too much force is used.
