Broken after two spacers.

Used on cloth towels. The hole punch does not pierce the fabric. There was no way this punch could go through the folded canvas as shown in the picture. I ended up having to make holes with scissors. The setting tool and the anvil worked with two eyelets. After the two bushings are completed, the long side of the bushing becomes a plug, but does not complete the bushing. After 4 more attempts to use the new grommets, the piece of wood split. I called her office and listened to the recorded…

These work fine. Not 5 stars fantastic and why am I only.

Works well. Not a fantastic 5 stars which is why I only gave 4 stars but good enough for the screen I had that needed more points to secure. I can try the snapshots as I think they are better suited for my application. Of course, some technique is required, and be sure to use a hard surface under the block of wood. I was warned by others that the cutter wasn't sharp enough and used my dremel to get the blade very sharp before use. Didn't even try it out of the box as it didn't break the nail…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Good but not great

Exactly what I wanted/needed

I always read one star reviews when shopping because I think they must be worth something, especially when several people have the same complaint. Based on the comments, I was a bit worried that I would have issues with the product and/or the installation tools that came with it, especially given the low price. All wrong. The tools worked great and these bushings are just what I needed. I installed four on an existing trunk that didn't have grommets or buckles/straps. At the moment my only…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • boring packaging

$350 saved & Punch tip

I'm so happy! Instead of spending over $400 to replace a custom lid for my built-in grill, I bought a $30 rectangular patio furniture lid and folded it into the shape I wanted. Installed some bungee cord spacers which allowed me to keep it in place. Holds water and stays in place through 3 storms. As for issues with the punch tool, like most cutting edges, it will dull after use. You can file the edge or just use scissors or the tip of a knife to make a hole. The important point is to make a…

This is a noisy process.

I wanted to add an eyelet to my apron that I made but didn't want to spend a lot of money on something I would use from time to time. Эта штука отлично работает, и люверсы вышли очень хорошими (может быть, я немного перебил один, но только я могу сказать) Сначала я устроился за обеденным столом, рядом с тем, где я обычно шью, думая, что смогу сделайте несколько нажатий и покончите with this. I just made a lot of noise but showed almost nothing. You really have to thrash these things, and it's…

Reject from unscrupulous seller

If I could rate this product negatively, I would. I ordered this gasket kit for next day delivery because I needed to finish a customer's wooden shelf cover. The package was worn and torn. Apparently it was opened and then glued so badly that it didn't stick. Of the four installation tools that were supposed to be included, two were missing, rendering the kit unusable. The top of the bag was intact but there were only 7 pieces on one side versus 12 on the other. Even if I could find a…

Pros
  • LUG INSTALLATION TOOL: Select your fabric, place a block under the item and center the hole cutout where you will be installing the sleeve. Punch a hole with a hammer and mount. Place the bushing on the mandrel, tap it evenly and complete your project.
Cons
  • Expensive

Good value, grommets could be better

I got a 1/2" shim kit - it does what it's supposed to do but the quality is so-so. , cheap gasket kit I recommend. Just note this is not a high quality kit. So if the Aesthetics is important you need something else Nice they warp a little I doubt they are actually brass I suspect they are gold plated aluminum The punch is not very sharp and you have to be really hard to cut slamming.That the punch is too short and has to be used with a socket tool as an extension is not very practical, you need

Pros
  • COVER RINGS: Anvil and installation tool have line codes for each grommet 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
  • wrinkled
