Need to add a couple of kam snaps to some myog pogies (I say myog - what is it when you rope your mother in to help
). Do I need the tool thingy or can i bodge it with a bradawl and some pliers???

You'll have to help me out with what a Kam Snap is? As google didn't give a definitive answer.
Are they poppers? If they fix in a similar fashion to eyelets then the dies came with the set I bought. The included pliers don't produce enough force with the ones I had, I found careful use of the vice with the dies gave a much better/stronger fix.

Yes - plastic poppers.
I’ve got a set of those eyelet pliers somewhere, which was what made me think I could save a few quid improvising.
