Follow this guide to remove and replace a plastic snap (aka snap fastener, snap button, or press button) using a handheld fastener tool.
Before you begin, check the fabric around the old snap for tears or damage beyond a small hole. If the fabric is compromised, you'll need to sew a reinforcing patch before replacing the snap.
If you're installing a brand new snap, check out this guide.
If you're replacing a metal snap, follow this guide instead.
