Review on Edward Tools Grommet Kit Rustproof by Chris Bowden

Revainrating 1 out of 5

YOU rust! NOT REAL BRASS!

I bought these bushings for use at sea - a DIY kayak sail. I was specifically looking for brass bushings that I knew would not rust in salt water. The product name said "Stainless Brass Metal Grommets" so I ordered these. A few months after completing the sail I was dismayed to see rust on the grommets after a few outings. Then I took the magnet and saw that it was attracted to the magnet. This shouldn't have happened if it was real brass. This product is misleading so BEWARE!

Pros
  • Easy Repair Set - 1. Drill a hole 2. Place bushing with washer 3. Hammer bushing
Cons
  • Doubtful
