🔧 Rustproof Grommets by General Tools: Enhanced for SEO Review

Good product. It's hard to go wrong with a sleeve; except for the two bags, both of which are marked 1/4", one bag contains 1/2" bushings. I am very concerned about the general trend towards lax, if not indifferent, quality control. now even to the point of incorrect labeling of the packaging.

I missed 5 eyelets in the project of the house - the holes were already punched.

I recently ordered replacement grommet packs for the suit and am very saddened that traditional tools have made the metal they use to make these gram notes cheaper which causes the metal to splinter when you hammer them in. .
