HolsterSmith Eyelet Hand Setter & Eyelet Combo Kit - Includes (1)(#6 Hand Setter) + (100)(#6-9 Black Eyelets) - for DIY Kydex & Leather Holster Making, Upholstery, and Apparel Binding

I recently 3D printed a scabbard for my Ka Bar USMC knife. The design required a two piece construction. A face piece and back. Simular to how a gun holster is made. These eyelets worked flawlessly for connecting the two parts. They are simple to use. As advertised, the roll over or forming of the eyelet was flawless. Every eyelet formed perfectly. I am a first time user and I was very surprised how easy it was to install these eyelets. I will be using these again on future projects. The ease of use has me wanting to make more projects like this. I strongly recommend this product by this supplier.

Exactly what I was looking for to use in my leather work. The grommet rounded over perfectly and made a secure fastening through the leather. Success on my first try.

I got these to finish up some kydex sheaths I formed at home. The included die and punch work to roll and finish the eyelets, and the eyelets are great quality. But the die and punch aren't the best for setting the eyelets, they can flatten the lip or mar them a bit if you're not careful. Overall this is a great value to DIY if you aren't too concerned about looks. If you want better looking, you need to spend a lot more on a higher quality eyelet punch.

Works great.

Nice little kit to put snap buttons on leather/faux leather, etc Not much bad to say here, and if you have a decent mallet or peen, everything else is included here to get it done. Two thumbs up — er, 5 stars :)

They work good..

I wanted to replace my boots' proprietary lace eyelet with this standard type. Twenty dollars seemed rather expensive for the task, but finding a boot repair shop and delivering my boots there would end up being more expensive. The tool seems fine, though I used it but once so far. The eyelets, on the other hand, will not suffice for my need - the shoulder of each is so narrow that it pulls right through the very thick leather (despite having a tight fit on insertion). I think I'll need to source some black washers to use inside and outside the leather to distribute the stress over a larger area to prevent that, but then, of course, the eyelet shaft may be unable to accommodate the additional thickness due to washers. Perhaps that will lead to my ordering even longer eyelets. So, consider your base material - it needs to be quite rigid in order to prevent eyelet pullout.

I use it when making kydex knife sheathes. Works well.
