I've just tried to set a grommet using an eyelet setting tool....the grommet, washer, and dies are now wedged so tightly together they may never come apart. I knew betterm but obviously was not paying attention. Even when you've got instructions...always remember to set grommets with a grommet setter and eyelets with an eyelet setter!
If you're not sure how to set grommets check out the link - it's really pretty easy...

Out of curiosity, I see you're using a rubber mallet to hammer them in. I've been using a regular hammer. Is there a specific reason for using the mallet? I have noticed that the metal on metal is starting to wear down the setting tool. I just keep thinking that a mallet would take longer to hammer, no?
ReplyDeleteA mallet of some type - wood, rubber, rawhide should be used because of the metal on metal issue. It won't take any longer and it won't be noisey. There's also less of a safety issue when you avoid hitting a metal tool with a metal hammer.
ReplyDeleteGrommets are a great way to organize messy, unsightly wires and cables on desks and other work surfaces.
