General Tools 3/8"-1/2" Grommet Kit - Rustproof Solid Brass Grommets for Tarp Repair, Reinforcing Canvases, and Fabric Rings

First, be aware that the product description page describes several different products: the full kit advertised at $33.85, and several smaller kits, as well as refill packages. Make sure you click on and order the item you wish to purchase. This is a complete kit and comes with two hole punches, a hardwood backer block, a 2-sided anvil, a mandrel, and 2 punch heads. It is a good-quality kit from General Tool and is suitable for general repairs by do-it-yourselfers. The hole punches, the mandrel and the punch heads are all made of heavy steel. It comes with six 3/8” grommets and six 1/2” brass grommets. I’ve used this kit to install a half-dozen grommets on the heavy-duty cover of my portable garage. The hole punches easily went through the double layers of 16 mil tarp and the grommets would work well even if I was using them on thicker material. Handy kit to have for general repairs.

First, if you order kit you will also need a hammer, a poly mallet (hammer), a poly (cutting) board and a ruler. A sturdy work surface (not your kitchen counter top!) Is highly recommended. If you have never used a grommet setter, I recommend you find a video on how to use the set. For the money, it is a great little set. The tools are new with oil from the factory still on them. If you are using them for fabric or raw leather, I recommend cleaning the oil off them to prevent staining materials. I would not use the little wooden block that comes with the set, I would use a poly board or plastic cutting board. Only reason I would not use the wooden block is because it is small and if it is not exactly centered under your item, you may have issues cutting your materials and setting your grommets. The metal hole punch is sharp on one end-the slightly tapered end. That is the end you should use to cut your material. I would have liked to have seen a handle for the punch, however the punch did cut through cleanly. Make sure you use a poly mallet ( or even a wooden mallet) and not a metal hammer when hitting the hole punch to prevent damage to the punch. I practiced on an old belt I had to get the feel of the tools. Kit worked exactly as it should.

Value for money given the good quality. Easy to use too.
