I have the KAM snap pliers that I use on baby items I make. i really like it. As long as I remember to use the right size die for the snap I have no trouble. not sure if they would be strong enough for us on a tote. I have used them on wonder wallets in place of the velcro

There are magnetic snap closures made specifically for bags and totes. They are made by Clover and come in a little kit about $3.00. I've used them and they work great !!! You just put them in the lining before sewing the bag/tote together. Hope this helps. Pat

Snaps are very easy to insert...no sewing required. Here is a link to a site that explains everything. I have their snap setter...works great.

I use the magnetic one on all my purses and tote. I pick them up at Joanns. You need to reinforce the area, were the snap is going to be appplied. I put a piece of heavy interfacing behind that area. They're very easy to use.
