QWORK - Hand Press Heavy Duty Eyelet Grommet Machine Punch Tool Kit with 3 Dies and 1500 Pcs Silver Grommets

Works very good with the included size adapters.

I make busy blankets, sometime called fidget quilts. Think of a large placemat sized piece of fabric with items on it: a zipper to zip up and down, a button to un-button and button, a fabric pocket with a hook-and-loop closure which can be opened and keys on a ribbon removed; a strip of “fur” which can be petted/stroked to help bring memories of Fido or Fluffy, a string of large, colorful acrylic beads to "worry", and something to lace up - like how you would lace up your sneakers. I make these busy blankets for residents of our local memory care facility. I had been making ribbon loops - which takes too much time. Then I found a kit that I could install grommets by hammering them. Evidently, I'm not strong enough to have made that work. Then I saw an on-line video which recommended that I get one of these grommet hand presses if I'm going to be doing "production" work - which I am. Right now I'm using the 1/2" sized grommets. I take a little metal circle and place it over the space where I want a hole. I take a ball point pen and draw a line inside the circle. That's the size I want my hole to be. Sharp snips make the holes, I insert the larger piece with the "throat"- or whatever it's called - on the machine, slip the right side of the fabric face down over the "throat", put the little metal circle on top and bring the handle down. I don't even have to stand up and put some oomph into the effort. The fixing of one grommet is the work of less than a minute. And, when I'm putting 6-8 grommets into a single busy blanket, time adds up. As soon as I've used all of the ½” grommets I’ll start using the 3/8” grommets. The shoe laces I’m using will fit that size too. My ONLY complaint is that this company doesn’t sell refills of its grommets. Yet. I did ask the question about what other grommets could be used with this QWORK hand press and was advised that any would do. Well, I’ve tried using the ½” grommets from the original kit I bought and the press doesn’t make them work. I’m thinking it’s because the grommets might be stainless steel and of a stronger metal or it’s because of me. I’ll try again when I’m about to run out of the 3/8” grommets. The thing is, if I want to buy grommets in bulk then a tool is usually for sale, too - buy this tool and get a pile of grommets!. All I want are more grommets! I already have this tool and it makes my work so easy. It’s worth every dime. I don’t need another one.

The only reason I do not give this 5/5 is because they send with it this rubber foam handle cover, and it is ridiculously hard to get on. Really i don’t think it’s necessary to have. But if you send it, it’s a part of it. If your using this and intend on using the grommets that come with it outside, that’s a bad idea. The press will work great but the grommets won’t hold up. The grommets are perfect for anything with indoor use though. Great sturdy tool in my opinion. Definitely glad I bought it! Saves so much time trying to hammer it the old way.

Very easy to use

Wonderful tool! Works on multiple layers of fabric and leaves professional finish. The screw on pieces look a little dirty out of the package, but work wonderfully.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRESS if you intend to use any grommets from any other manufactures - this press is CUSTOM BUILT TO ONLY ACCEPT PROVIDED GROMMETS !!! THIS PRESS WILL NOT work with 3rd party grommets !!! - I have 3/4" grommets here that will NOT FIT THIS PRESS !!! AND THIS PRESS IS DESIGNED FOR 3/4 GROMMETS !!! CHINA NEVER manufactures any STANDARDIZED PARTS to fit their machines - everything CHINA makes is completely OFF ALL STANDARD MEASUREMENTS - this is done to FORCE THE BUYER TO PURCHASE CUSTOM PARTS AT INFLATED PRICES - this Machine is USELESS on any other standard industry grommets - THIS MACHINE WILL >>> ONLY WORK <<< WITH THE GROMMETS PROVIDED IN THIS PURCHASE ! Good Luck Finding anything that will fit this machine - TOTAL CHINA SCAM - DO NOT BUY !!! RIP OFF !!!

Machining if hole in arm handle is too close to the edge in my opinion. However, the metal it is made of is heavy duty. So I suspect that it will won't wear out in my lifetime. I did receive an instruction page in my box. It took 5 minutes to assemble. I tested it out. This will suit my needs well. (Binding papers). If I were needing grommets that had to stand up to the weather, I would buy stainless steel grommets. The grommets that come in the package appear to be aluminum. Magnetic dies would be a bonus. update: I was surprised how difficult this was to work with........paper. Downgraded due to difficulty of use. I had to punch holes in the paper first in sets of 10 sets (because it can;t handle more than 10...nor is the grommet tall enough to handle more than 10 sheets.) Maneuvering to hold the paper down while attaching the top fastener while keeping the papers from shifting while lowering the lever was tedious. 14 grommets done 48 more to be done.

The product is very well made, plenty of grommets came with it and the price is very low. We'll worth the money.

c'était un cadeau. Le destinataire en est ravi: super pratique!

I have separately bought rivet dies but haven’t tried these yet. The grommet ones work well with the included dies.

Produit pro ,livraison rapide .Sérieux

Excellent press for eyelet installation.

This works wonderfully. Everything I hoped it would do
