Review on πŸ”§ General Tools 1261 2 Rustproof Grommet: A Durable Solution for Rust-Free Fastening by Thasapon Bowers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The company needs better counting equipment and the quality has gone down

I am using a tarp for cover and need to add some grommets in various places. I have used different brands of bushings and they used to be good quality bushings. On my first order of 10 boxes (240 bushings), 8 out of 10 boxes were missing the bushing kit washer. Some boxes were missing a pair, 1 box was missing 6, only 2 boxes had the full count of 24 male and female halves. Neither box was missing the male half of a set of long-sleeved sleeves. A few boxes even had an extra whistle. I haven't tried connecting 2 nipples and I doubt it will work, but it's better to consider an extra box if you need all 24 tips. ---- I just bought 5 more boxes. Grommets in November 2012. The first kits I bought a few years ago were .014 thousand inch thick brass. The latest batch is only 0.010 thousand inches thick. A significant drop in the strength of the entire eyelet. I no longer recommend buying these grommets because they can be so easily bought for a lot less. They still haven't fixed their counting devices.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I will add later
