This works...but I would suggest tapping once (gently) with the hammer and then trying the snap. You can always tap that metal nub a little flatter, but once you have pounded it too hard you can't unflatten it. Good luck! In years gone by I have fixed many snaps this way...anyone remember when all the toddler boy outfits had snaps up and down the inner seams of the pants so that you could get at their diapers to change them?

Usually there are four tiny fins which need to be pushed so that the hole in the middle is a tad smaller. I only mention this because it is more forgiving if you overdo it and make the snap too tight. You do need to be careful because if the screwdriver slips you make a hole in the fabric, and if you have to make many tries before you get it right, one of the fins may break off.

Just did it at Gymboree the other day. Had the most annoying pair of overalls for my son. He couldn't move in them without them completely coming apart. The sales girl apologized profusely and said that the company is happy when someone complains because then they know which snaps not to buy for their clothing.
