Having used this tool for a few years now with no issues, I like the Press n Snap . We use it 95% of the time for snaps and small grommets. This is the other 5% . More expensive than the above kit, you could start your own snap repair business with this one. Might just need to, to pay it off, lol. Works great on s.s. and coated brass hardware.
They are supposed to be made to an industry standard. What kit did you buy? Too small meaning the female socket was too small in diameter to engage the male stud? Or the post on the cap is too short to press thru the layers of fabric to mate/mushroom to the socket. If they are not mushroomed over completely, they will not engage.

In my link above, measurements are either the screw length for stud or the post length for the cap. Shorter post length with few layers of fabric and longer posts for 4-5+ layers. The caps and sockets there are one size.
Talk about an overpriced vice grip, here’s a little cheaper vice grip lol. Might do the trick? Although I do ascribe to the mantra of “you get what you pay for” - who knows. I’ve got a few snaps I need to replace but I suppose I’d have to put in a reinforcing patch first.

Umm, adding this tool. For hard surfaces too thin to take a screw is this pop rivet die set. Worked well to put snaps on a flexible solar panel to snap in on top of the Bimini.
