Review on πŸ” Grommet Eyelets Setting: Achieving the Perfect Diameter with Ease by Bryan Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good set even if you have never made eyelets before

A good set even if you have never made eyelets before. As people have said, there are no instructions, but it's pretty intuitive, so I don't know what the problem is with the need for instructions. I haven't watched any videos on youtube and they worked fine just based on the description on the seller's pictures. I got it wrong a few times, but that's just because I don't have three arms. Pros: --- The tools themselves are a good weight and appear to be well made. --- The socket parts fit together. excellent and seem to work as they should.β€”β€”Lots of YouTube videos if you need them. Cons:β€”β€” No written instructions. Just use the image in the description above or watch the YouTube video if you like.β€”β€”The punched hole seems a bit big to me, but it might just be the material I used, the one regular round cat bed that I wanted to use as a "lid" over a ferret hammock so my cat would have a nice little sandwich den in the winter when she's in a cage while I'm at work. She has an unpleasant habit of either dragging beds, blankets, towels into the tray or simply urinating on the bed or towel. She never peed in her hammock so it was my choice.β€”β€” No hammer/hammer. I already had a heavy duty tent peg hammer that worked like a charm. And of course, a wooden block is easy to find anywhere... Don't pay too much for a wooden block set, seriously. I have a self-healing cutting mat that works great for this, but I think a block of wood would be better because it can affect your cutting mat if you make a lot of grommets. Photo (I only noticed when I received the goods), the latch on the box is upside down. It's a bit worrying because the first time I opened it upside down and almost spilled it. I didn't pay attention to the fact that the box was more down, namely the latch was pushed back. I just hope I keep this every time I try to open the box in the future. I can just try to find another box. β€” Because the bushings are in two parts, the larger parts are in the box and the smaller parts are in a separate plastic bag. This is not a zipped bag, which makes it a little uncomfortable. Luckily I had the same zipper size. I'm surprised they didn't put a zip pouch in it, they cost less than a cent each.β€”β€”There are no dividers in the box so the tools were buried a bit. At first I wasn't sure if the tools came with eyelets, but after digging around in the box a bit I found them. If the sockets were brass instead of silver, the tools in the box would be much more visible. LOL All in all I'm glad I bought this set, it did the job I needed to do and now I have to figure out what to use the 92 more jacks for.
