Review on πŸ”© QWORK Eyelet Grommet Machine Grommets: Superior Quality for Perfectly Reinforced Fabric and Leather Applications by Matt Conner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good for Kydex seals

Excellent value for money. Robust and designed to last for years. I had concerns based on some of the previous reviews but found that their concerns are not a problem for me. I will review these reviews and my results. One review says it doesn't work for Kydex. I had no problems with Kydex and all bushings fit perfectly. However, I used high quality bushings made for Kydex and not the ones that come with the kit. Please see my attached photo for the results of a quick kydex sheath. In my opinion, the supplied eyelets are better suited for thinner materials such as fabric, tarpaulin, cardboard and possibly leather. Please note that the adjustable bolt under the handle cannot pass and deform the sleeve. Another reviewer complained about the black "things" on the stamps. The dies are made of high carbon steel and will rust unless you protect them with oil. I'd rather wash off oil than rust. You could have made dies out of stainless steel but that would increase the cost and in my opinion carbon steel is a better choice for dies. Another reviewer said the handle was rough and rubbed on her hand. Mine came with a foam pad on the handle. I suggest putting some soapy water on the inside of the grip cap to make installation easier as it fits snugly.
