Grommet Kit September 3, 2008

The tools seem higher quality than most kits, but the grommets do not seem to be any heavier duty than other kits. They seem ok, not great. My biggest complaint is the description indicated twice as many gommets included, as actually came with the kit. It only came with 12.

I've used this kit for many years. It's not that hard to use IF you have a good set of tools (large hammer/heavy work table). it's just one of those things handy "men" ought to have around! Only downside I can see is that I haven't found a source for grommet refills yet.

I only used it once, it's difficult to figure out. Don't lose the directions.
