does the job. for grommets

I taped my porch with good quality vinyl, boarded the grommets every 12 inches so I could hang the vinyl. All eyelets were in perfect condition. No defects. Perfect Thickness Made my job easier.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Some nuances

Good enough to buy again.

I bought a 1/2" and 3/8" set to start with, along with a set of bits which I think are a must have. They replaced the ones I had used up. Since I got them in the first place, I wonder why I didn't get them sooner.

Pros
  • Quality build
Cons
  • Repair

Great inexpensive eyelet set!

Great addition to your toolbox. Quick and easy set of grommets for all types of purposes, fabric, vinyl etc. Used to install additional anchor points on the flag/banner to be hung on the points above. Good compact case to put everything you need in tool box. Two thumbs up!

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • Not the best

Poor quality, good for industrial facilities

I bought 3 boat flag making kits. They don't fit well and seem like mismatched parts that will bend when using a tuning tool. I have installed hundreds of shims manually and after several attempts gave up and ordered another brand of 3/8" brass shims and had no problems. Would not buy again.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Nothing

Good Quality Brass Bushings

We have these to align the edges of our blueberry mesh. My only complaint is that the manufacturer limits the amount you can send one household to 7 packs, so we had to ask a friend to order several packs for us! they are of good quality. The setter is decent, although we've gone through two or their installation at around 275 grommets. They're easy to install and so far have held up well on a fairly large structure!

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Bad Impression

Absolute rubbish. Unusable

Just had to use it after buying it a while ago. I have an eyelet/lock tool so make no mistake this is a product that sucks not the method or way it was made. The strap at the bottom is the last eyelet I had. The difference in quality is easy to see! The pictures of the top strap and the single strap are purchased at the POS. You can't even join properly. When I pull the straps to test, they flex slightly like paper. It's absolutely sucks and worthless. Waste of money and waste of time. I'll…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Communication with seller

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…

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I will add later

Used for Curtains: Industrial Hardware

I had an area that needed a small curtain so I got this, but then I also needed an eyelet tool. My hands aren't that strong, so I had to press hard on the instrument. My son could work much better than me. Just make sure to line everything up and press firmly to ensure a straight and even seal. They did the job and since I haven't attached grommets before I don't have much to compare but they didn't seem to be as durable as you might need if you need to attach something like leather. So I think

Practice creates masters!

I use these sleeves for my large garden flags which often don't have a flag sleeve on the end. Using these bushings with a regular bushing tool kit takes a little practice, but you'll get better every time! My advice: make sure the surface you're driving the bushing into is very strong and sturdy, as this is critical for both the initial hole cutting and the actual assembly. Sleeve. I personally use the flat anvil face of my vise and it seems to work great! Second, make sure you don't make the…
