Pengxiaomei 1/4" Grommet Eyelet Setting Plier with 100 PCS Silver and 100 PCS Gold Eyelets Grommets, Grommet Tool Kit for Leather/Clothes/Shoes/Fabric/Belts etc.

I bought this to place grommets on a corset for Halloween. It took me a bit of trial and error before I was able to successfully clamp the grommets closed. Cut a small slit, careful it's not too big! Push back grommet through. Place top piece over bottom piece. Use clamped and hope for the best! I expected one side of the clamper to have a groove for the grommet to sit in to help guide the process. Not so. I dropped a lot of pieces, miss aligned a few, but in the end this gave me what I needed.

As some have pointed out this is only a tool to set the grommet; it does not cut the hole. I failed to understand that in the product details. Also, the grommets are only 1-piece and not 2-piece grommets. This means you put the grommet thru the hole and with this tool bend over the walls of the grommet to crimp it in place. It leaves a ragged shoulder on the inside of the fabric. Additionally the tool works ok, but depending on how carefully you squeeze the handles and crimp it, the grommet may turn out more or less ragged and well positioned. All in all, not what I had in mind so I returned for a different item that comes with a hole cutter and 2-piece grommets, so there will be a clean shoulder on the inside of the item thru which the grommet has been placed.

I ordered these to attach card panels to card bases. You only use 1 grommet placed on the flatter side & then push together with protruding side to spread out grommet. The grommets will not cut through material, you have to place it into an existing hole - so I don’t know how well this would work with heavier material. Pliers do not have a locking mechanism to keep handles closed. They are sturdy enough, but you do have to use some “muscle” to flatten the grommet out.

Would like to have had some instructions on placement and use, but after a few mishaps, I managed to figure it out. Seems to work very well.

Great!..once you figure it out. Instructions not included. The curved edge of the eyelet goes on the side of the pliers with the hole.

my hand got blisters after i used it.

Would not work the way the instructions described. Had to turn the grommets the other way. The metal used is also thin - the handles bent while using! It worked for what I needed it for though, but I don’t see getting lots of use out of it.

It didn’t even last a day before the handle bent. I bought to make some holes on a plastic poster and I didn’t about 12-15 holes and the handles bend. Very cheaply made. Don’t buy it it won’t last you a day.
