Tools and Hardware Reviews of General Tools 1260-4 1/2-Inch Solid Brass Grommet Kit
Customer Review: This plus a hammer and you're ready to install grommets.
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall a decent value and it does what it should: helps you install shiny grommets. The metal tools are heavy and seem good quality. They make a satisfying clanging sound when you bash them violently with your hammer.
As other reviewers note, with this kit you will only have the pleasure of installing 12 grommets, not 24. I found a refill kit at the local hardware store.
Besides that, three minor complaints:
1. The hole puncher tube was too dull to actually punch holes through the fleece I was trying to engrommenate. It was easier to cut the holes by hand. (I also have the 3/8" kit and for some reason that tube was a lot sharper and more useful.)
2. The metal tools were covered in grease which I didn't see at first and it left black marks on my stuff.
3. The wooden backer block is pretty useless. It splintered in two almost immediately.
Overall though I thought the kit was a pretty good value.
