I'm not sure, but I believe warner owns the patent on snappers and that is why they continue to use them.

Warner owns or partly owns Ivy Hill Corp., which created the snapper.

For the other detailed information you're looking for, you'll probably have to ask someone in the industry. Maybe Google "Amaray" or one of the other manufacturers and try to contact them. Ivy Hill is in New York and can be found on Switchboard.com.
