Wouldn't ya know it that on the 100 or so snaps that is all of the canvas of the 318, I have now busted 4 snaps.

Anyone know where to get a good quality snap tool? And, some nice, stainless snaps?

Coug-
Definitely try the zipper/snap lube that WM sells. It works wonders. I put a little film on the male snap outer edge. I bet it'll totally solve your problems.

Cougar you're not looking for the 'notched spatula' type tool to assist in snapping and unsnapping are you?

Snap repair tool.

Although, if I keep popping snaps, I may need to look at one of those helper tools.

I used Chapstick on my snaps. Makes an amazing difference and real cheap and easy to apply. Just run it around the edges of the male side. Usually do it once or twice a season.

i know this is an older thread but i am actually looking for a good tool myself. cougar what did you end up buying?

I like the idea of the chapstick as a lube - simple and clean. I have also had a snap come off my carpet recently so a timely topic. Will run around and do mine next weekend
