Bought this eyelet setting tool to finish my knife sheaths , four year project. ICD started going off seven times , three surgeries, 20 days in hospital, I finally got these eleven knives finished, I was really surprised by how easy this eyelet setter was to use but I used a small arbor press I got form HF 12 years ago , they don’t carry this size any more . Skip the hammer go with a press and add a drop of oil to the forming tool every 10 eyelets , works great. Thanks for reading my review on this , Double Tap

I really like this little thing. I’m giving it 4 stars for 2 reasons. 1, it’s way too expensive for what little material it’s made of, and 2, I couldn’t really get it to work with a hammer. It’s too small, and if not secured it just bounces all over the place and marks up the rivets. A guy in a YouTube video showed me to use a regular bench vice. I already had the bench vice, and although it’s a little slow and cumbersome, it produces perfect results. If you need to buy a bench vice to go with it, you’d be smarter to buy a cheap arbor press. Probably much less awkward than doing it on its side like I’ve been doing.

This thing is a life saver. I hate to admit it, but if you’re using eyelets on Kydex, you need this. I tried to get through without it, but my eyelets kept busting on the edge or getting scuffed. This gives you a perfect eyelet every time. 10/10 recommend.

I've set about 100 or so eyelets with this so far and even using a brass hammer the end is getting mushroomed already, and the tip has gotten bent from a drop on the floor.. Neither problems have affected the usage of the product so far, but I have doubts about how long this will last. They claim heat treated, but I'm not so sure about that, maybe it is, but it's certainly not very hardened. It's pretty disappointing considering the cost of it. Maybe it wouldn't have this issue if I was using an arbor press, but even using a brass hammer doesn't prevent mushrooming. It does work better than the cheaper ones that are made of a shinier metal that you can buy from some leather companies though.

I wanted to replace the grommets in a pair of my boots and found this company that sells a longer shank. I had purchased some light-duty grommets from another company that came with a die set, but I discovered that not all grommets are made the same. I purchased a less expensive hand die set, but it didn't fit the grommet either. So, I went back to the company that sold the grommets and purchased this benchtop model. Bingo! Everything fit perfectly, and the grommets swaged nicely.

After using my own homemade eyelet flaring tools, which at best produce a flattened rim around the backside of the eyelet, for way longer than I want to admit, I finally ordered one of these and just used it on an old sheath which I have included a picture of. Can you can guess which of the 3 eyelets in the picture is the one I did with this tool? If people are splitting eyelets you’re hitting them WAY too hard, it’s thin brass, finesse goes a long way. Also, the few drops oil really helps. I used a hard rubber mallet to hit the tool with and it seemed to work out pretty good. It’s not a one hit slam though, couple small taps then a few harder ones but no where near the force you would use on a nail for example. I have lots of experience doing it the wrong way with the wrong tools, so it’s a lot easier to really appreciate this tool.
