I am wrapping up a poncho project and it calls for snaps.
Metal ones from W*t are coming in at 2.5g each. I will need 6 or 7.
Should I go with plastic? Can they handle the cycles? Thanks.

The plastic ones have a surprisingly high holding strength. They are a lot lighter too and also do not get stuck together like the metal ones after sitting in the garage for a year…
Many thanks. Off to find plastic.
KAM Snaps has the snaps and the pliers for a good price
+1 on plastic and +1 on kamsnaps
Great site — thank you all.
(edit)
Tool arrived today along with 200 snaps.
Fast shipping. Will run some tests.
