Helpful vid. I removed the old ones by squeezing from sides with vice grips. A few times progressively tighter around the sides, and pop, out they came!
Two of my 5.11 pants have the same problem. Now I know how to repair them. Gorilla glue is a polyurethane water activated glue, so it’s better if you dampen the cloth in the area where the repair is, that will make it stick better.
If that snap caused that much damage maybe you should consider going up one waist size. If those snaps are under that much pressure maybe two snaps till you get the new size . No shame it happens to us all.
Good question. You'd think they'd spend 30 cents for better snaps. I gave these pants a 2-star review solely because of the low quality snap. These would be trash in 1 month for most people.

Thank you for sharing, now i can fix my pocket book.
Are those 5.11 Tactical's Taclite Pro? I ended up on your video because I just got a couple pairs and in less than a month the snaps broke.
OMG....those are exactly the pants I need to fix.
@@fredfx LOL. I'm here for the same. That's their one weak spot.
Jesse Pearce I won’t buy them anymore just for that reason. That’s the most important mechanism on the pants! They had one thing to get right!

THANK YOU! I was able to fix a snap on a very very very expensive raincoat because of your video! It made it soooo easy.
Pretty snappy!
You sound a bit like Tony Hawk
Can't hear shit you're saying...
Jonathan Jones Thanks for the feedback. I boosted audio and reposted the video. See link to louder version in description.
Get a tripod buddy.
This is a cool video. Thanks for posting and for taking the time my friend :)
One machine parchase

Thank you!
it would be helpful if you would show the glue being applied. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. Very well explained. Subbed !
Thanks for the video.. My snap broken won't hold And the very 1st video I run across had the exact same problem with the same pair pains..
Perfectly helpful. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Thanks! Like the glue idea. I got the same kit. Got three more pairs to do to replace the wimp snaps. Blauer snaps suck.
my right ear feels lonely
The sound is a little difficult, but the information is good.
Can't hear it...its like the guy is whispering.
Wallah!!
Very good video, Dan. What size are the snaps?
Thanks for posting. Just what I needed.
Never put it through the same hole dude.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
Why do 511 use such cheap snaps? Less than a month the snap doesn't hold properly
