Eyelet / Grommet Setting Hand Tools

Our Eyelet / Grommet Setting Hand Tools include a hole punch, a setting tool, and a base anvil. For select varieties we offer flowering tools in addition to the traditional rolled rim style tools.

Eyelet / Grommet Hand Tool Options:

Our Eyelet / Grommet Tools are measured by the Hole Diameter (i.e. Measured from the inner hole/tube diameter not the outer flange/rim diameter) and they correspond directly with out Eyelets and Grommets we sell. So for a 5mm eyelet you’ll want the 5mm Eyelet Toolkit. We offer sizes 1-12mm for installing eyelets and grommet by hand.

To Roll or to Flower?

• Beyond decorative /aesthetic preferences, structurally speaking it is recommended to use washers and wider flange grommets when working with woven materials which can fray. Using a fray block is also helpful.
• For material highly prone to stretching (i.e. foams, some rubbers and fabrics) a wider flange is recommended and often a flowering tool is used for better security in lieu of a washer.
• For materials that are not prone to stretching (wood, plastic, metal, some leathers) a rolled rim eyelet is generally sufficient to be used without a washer.

How to Use:

Install Eyelets face down with tube facing up through the material and secure with a washer if desired. Place the setting tool against the tube and hammer the back of the tool to set the eyelet.
