NO solid brass for seal kits

They claim 'brass' several times and 'solid brass' once and they are steel with a thin brass finish. After a very little rain they started to rust. I have two 1/2 inch installation tools and neither fit properly.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Many

Well made and quite thick

Not much to say about the eyelets other than that they are well made and quite thick. I use them to hang reflective fabric in my indoor grow space for easy removal when not in use. Works perfectly.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Communication with seller

This is normal, but it is difficult to get a consistent impact on impact.

They work pretty well, but I'm having a hard time making them look like a stamp used with a machine. I hammer by hand with a hammer and it's not easy to get a uniform look. However, they work if you're not picky about giving them the perfect look.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Exceeded expectations

Competing products that are slightly cheaper disappointed. Back to GENERAL TOOLS product. Paid a little more but worth the price and more. I have used the product with burlap fabric and it has worked exceptionally well. Strong fixation, easy installation and beautiful result. Exceptionally high price / quality.

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • Security

These worked great!

I have a set of Lord & Hodge 1/2" bushings and I got these bushings as a replacement. The set was really old - maybe 30 years old and had some original bushings with it. These are from The Revain Shine to be an identical replacement. The new packaging said 'Rust Proof'. I think the idea is that they are brass plated steel. Couldn't have done better if the price wasn't lower. :-) Me I've seen other cheaper ones (?) here at Revain, but I've also seen people complain about the quality.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • nothing

Long stems and thicker metal than press kit gaskets

The General brand 1/2 inch gaskets we received are significantly thicker, stronger and higher quality than those with our China delivered. manufactured eyelet press (rough formed press is almost no good) Since we couldn't afford those soft, flimsy, undersized eyelets that came with the press kit to fail and damage expensive stage fabrics, we ordered and installed more expensive generic eyelets out solid brass The blister pack says 'Made in India' and holds up well what we estimate to be 10โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Maybe there is a better seal, but I haven't found it yet.

Good for the price but performs better on thicker stock. Like other customers, they recommended using the router slowly and hammering the bushings with a General Tools bushing set. When fitting these grommets to a polyester lampshade, the grommets were cut, but reinforced packing tape was 'installed' on both sides and the tool cut the perfect hole. The tape worked very well. These bushings are used in a greenhouse so don't worry about corrosion or rugged durability, these bushings are veryโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Available in white only

Long shanks and thicker metal compared to Press Kit bushings

The General brand bushings we received are significantly thicker, stronger and have a higher quality feel than the ones which come with our Chinese bushing eyelet press (rough shaped press is almost not good) As we could not afford those soft, flimsy, too small eyelets that came with the press kit to fail and damage expensive stage fabrics, we ordered and installed more expensive traditional solid brass eyelets, the blister pack says 'made in India' and they handle loads well which we estimateโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Bushing Kits
Cons
  • Quick Guide

Used them to make some photo backgrounds.

Decided to sell used equipment on Craigslist. There were some old leaves that could be used as a background for photos. Got a set of 1/2" General Tools 1260-4 solid brass flat washers to create a more durable and versatile way of hanging sheets (available locally). I reinforced the edge of each sheet with a strong iron stabilizer (cloth shop), cut holes in the leaves with Exacto and used a mandrel and anvil to install the grommets. Went like clockwork. Once confident that the technique andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • industrial equipment
Cons
  • boring packaging
