100pc 5/32" 4mm Brass Eyelets and Setting Pliers Kit - Shoes Belts Bags Leather Fabric VinylTaiwan

I knew this would be cheaply made so I wasn't disappointed in what I got. I needed it for one job and it worked for that but if you want to keep the tool around for future jobs you best invest in a little better one. The job requires a pretty hard squeeze on the handles to set the grommets and the handles are so flimsy that a hard squeeze bends them, especially after a number of uses. The package included no instructions so I had to experiment first to establish the best procedure to use. I used a small paper punch to first make the hole (the smaller the better, especially in fabric). I found that the pin on the pliers should be used on the side of the grommet that is to be flared. A hard squeeze is needed to really set the flared grommet down tight against the material. Then turn the pliers over and insert the pin in the unflared side and give another squeeze to smooth out the flared side of the grommet. It comes with 100 grommets and the pliers will never last that long so there is no need to order extra grommets. It works pretty well and if they had just used slightly thicker gauge metal to make the pliers they would have really had something. Maybe more money would buy stronger pliers?

Junk. I tried to set two eyelets in a fairly thin piece of webbing and halfway through the second one, the handles had bent all the way into each other. I was using the pliers with a one hand grip and it just destroyed these things. I could use a tool like this that is actually usable. It would be very hand in my profession as a parachute rigger. But this just isn't worth the metal and plastic put into making it.

Chinese crap.the eyelets break and the clipper only works on one size, and badly at that even.would return if throwing in the garbage wasn't much easier.

They say you get what you pay for. These were cheap. There were no instructions, the tool is flimsy, and the grommets do not form nicely on the back side even on the thinnest material.

Gave it two stars because the packaging did indeed include a set of eyelets and the tool they claim to be pliers, but that's the extent to which this met expectations.Does it work? That depends on your goal. If your objective is to throw away a little money, buy away! If you're looking to set eyelets, this is not the tool you seek.

I got what I paid for. I paid just under $6 including shipping (not directly from amazon). This came with the pliers and the eyelets. No washer pieces, so one side definitely looks "unfinished". I got this to make masks for my boy's super hero 8th birthday party. It came with NO DIRECTIONS. (Also the package was already opened inside the plastic envelope it came in. Luckily the eyelets were still in the plastic bag.) I had to watch a few different YouTube videos to figure out how to properly use it and practiced on a swatch before trying it on the masks.I'd call these pliers cheap because there are no grooves for the eyelets to fit into. You have to hold it perfectly to get it done nicely. The flat part of the eyelet goes onto the flat side of the pliers. In some videos, it fits into the pointed part, but not these pliers. (Which i am guessing this is why it got more than a few bad reviews.)The pointed side crushes the pointed part of the eyelet. It makes sense as I'm writing this, but when you see the pliers, I did it the opposite way the first couple of times I practiced. The flat side is completely flat. It does not "fit" there, you must hold it in place.After watching more than a few YouTube videos and knowing what I know now, I'd buy the tools where you use a rubber mallet. Just seams easier on the hands and easier to get a quality result. I'm just really glad that these pliers work and they are ok for the project I am making at the moment.

It cannot punch through a thin piece of ribbon. Amazon does not allow returns for some reason... so its just a waste of money for me.

The reason I went with this set is because in the picture it showed different sized and colored eyelets but that is not what arrived. Was a bit misleading.
