Default Advice please - Snaps and snap tools

I have made bike handlebar bags, both quilted and non. I'd like to make more and also to tweak the bags so they can be used as walker/wheelchair bags too.

I've used velcro as the top closure and also to attach the straps to the bike handlebar. I dislike sewing velcro so much that I'd like to try snaps instead but I have almost no experience with them.

I've done some internet searching but I'd like advice from those of you who have done this before. I'm thinking of getting a set of the special plier like tools to attach the snaps. What do you think? Any recommendations? Also what size snap would you recommend? I typically make my handles with double fold fabric, so 4 layers of cotton or maybe a tad heavier fabric.

Thanks so much!!
