Great product for the price, instructions required

After figuring out how to use it worked great for the price. I have installed new bushings in several golf towels in the past. There are no instructions included with the product. The Revain video for the product doesn't show how to use it and I couldn't find any instructions online. However, I was able to get an idea of how to use this tool from some general YouTube videos. I would give 5 stars if there were instructions.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Expensive

Decent kit for occasional use

There aren't many great jack kits on the market and overall this is a decent kit. I agree with other reviewers that the piece of wood isn't that useful (I used a 1x4 piece of scrap) and the included hole punch is marginal at best. Tip: Take a set of gouges; They're longer, stronger, and you'll be amazed at how often you'll use them. Everything else in the kit is good. Gaskets are easy to install and should hold up well. Unfortunately, given the small number of grommets included in the kit, I'll

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • Damaged

Better sleeve, tools could be longer.

Simply the best case but the tools are a bit awkward to use (small and short). Place a small block of wood in the kit and use a short 2" x 6" block to support the shots you are going to make. I purchased a General Tools gouge punch P/N 1280. It is much sharper and longer than the punch that comes in the kit. Prepare the polyethylene tarp by wiping the grommet area with 99% isopropyl alcohol, and then use Gorilla tape to wrap the edge, extending 2 inches beyond the edge on each side. Tap the…

Pros
  • Heavy duty
Cons
  • Dull packaging

Really reliable and pleasant to use. A noticeable step is better than expected.

This is a small but noticeable improvement over the usual hardware store quality. Of course he does what is on the bench. But there's a lot of little attention to detail that you wouldn't normally expect. All metal items are coated with black oxide to hold some oil. The plastic case is ideal for all tools. The included block of wood is really good for this purpose, not just a flag element that snaps on the second use. The hub spare slots aren't quite right for a full refill kit, but if you use…

Pros
  • LUG INSTALLATION TOOL: Select your fabric, place a block under your item and center the hole cutout where you will attach the sleeve. Punch a hole with a hammer and mount. Place the eyelet on the mandrel, fluff it evenly, and finish your project.
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Easy to use set, more detailed instructions required

If you order a kit, you will also first need a hammer, a plastic hammer (mallet), a polypropylene (hacking iron). ) board and a ruler Highly recommended having a solid work surface (not a kitchen counter!) If you have never used a grommet installer I recommend finding a video on how to use the kit For the money this is a great little kit The tools are brand new with factory oil. If you're using them on fabric or rawhide, I recommend rinsing off the oil to avoid staining the materials. I…

Pros
  • PER JACK SET: Easy to use set includes drill press, hardwood block, double ended anvil, 2 punches and punch heads, 6-1/2" and 6-3/8" brass bushings. Enjoy years of durability and performance with our rustproof hardware.
Cons
  • Older model

Cuts and sews through the thickest material

I have found that this kit makes my many tarp/tarp covers out of the box and uses them much more reliably, allows me to buy inexpensive tarp materials and reinforce/compress these materials easily and quickly. I had to make grommet holes in the spare seat material for my zero gravity lounger. I had to cut through 2 layers of polyethylene with filler inside. 4 hard hits with a hammer on the edge of a block of wood (thanks for that) and I'm through with the materials. Place the neck sleeve base…

Pros
  • CLOTH RINGS: The anvil and setting tool are marked with lines for each shim size so you can quickly select which grommets you need for your project. For added comfort and safety, the device has a knurled body.
Cons
  • Vanish
