I was hoping for a reasonably inexpensive "hot hole punch", and after searching, and watching your video, the simple way often is the best. I had to put snaps on 8 webbing straps (I am a canvas fabricator), and ended up just heating up an old awl over a candle and melting holes for the snap barrels. I have made boat canvas for years, and have a hot knife, but the webbing straps to hold up the roll up windows always have me talking to myself. Good video!
another method you can use is to heat up a soldering iron that you don't care about and push it through the nylon. we use that method at work to make color swatches of the different webbing we have for vendors. the hole isn't super pretty and you'll be messing up your iron, but it works well in one step.

Just use the hot nail, heat it and drive it!
