FAQs
What material are these eyelets made of?

Are they resistant to rust?
Yes, they are made of rustproof brass, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.
What is the benefit of the included washer?
The washer distributes pressure and reinforces the fabric around the eyelet, preventing tearing and providing a more secure attachment.
What is the finish of these eyelets?
The finish is black oxidized, offering a subtle and stylish appearance.
Troubleshooting
Eyelet not setting properly
Ensure the fabric is not too thick for the eyelet size. Check that the washer is correctly positioned on the back. Use firm, direct force with the hammer or ensure pliers are fully closed.
Eyelet tears fabric
The fabric may be too thin or delicate. Consider using a stabilizer or interfacing behind the fabric where the eyelet will be placed. Ensure the hole is appropriately sized for the eyelet post.
Tool is difficult to use
For easier and faster application, especially on multiple eyelets, consider using the Prym Vario pliers. Ensure you are using the correct end of the tool for setting.
