Parts only 1/8 " diameter

I am new to the world of die plates. I bought this kit to get started with die plates. Details are ok, they fit 1/8" and 1/4" perforated sheet metal. However, the parts themselves are only 1/8" in diameter, so be careful if you're putting them in a perforated plate with 1/4" holes like I did. The black holders work well, to attach parts to a perforated panel; however, I would like them to be a larger 1/4" in diameter for an even better fit. The difficulty with black fasteners is that they don't fit all types of hooks (so it's important to have a hook set that fits the diameter of the board), so some of them will dangle and fall out when used. . Also, they have to be spaced apart to work, so it takes up a small amount of space on a perforated panel. The set comes with a pretty decent variety and amount of parts, so it's not bad as a starter set. Although I don't think I would buy it again.

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Fits
