Product Information
Full details
Designed for DIY enthusiasts, campers, and gardeners, these 12mm plastic snap eyelets offer a reliable, self-sealing method to reinforce or repair holes in tarpaulins, groundsheets, and heavy-duty fabrics. They provide a quick, tool-free installation process that ensures a tight grip for securing covers in outdoor environments, though users should note they are best suited for lighter to medium-duty applications rather than industrial-grade tension loads.

FAQs
Do I need a hammer to install these?
No, these are designed to be snapped together by hand pressure.
Can I use these on heavy leather?
These are designed for thin to medium fabrics or plastic sheets; leather may be too thick for the snap to lock correctly.
Are these reusable?
They are designed for a permanent, one-time snap fit. Removing them may damage the locking tabs.
Will they rust if left out in the rain?
No, because they are constructed from high-quality plastic, they are entirely rust-proof.
What is the exact internal diameter?
The eyelet features a 12mm (1/2 inch) cutout.
How many come in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 complete eyelet sets, including matching washers.
Troubleshooting
Eyelet will not snap together fully
Ensure the material being clamped is not too thick; remove extra layers of fabric before snapping.
Eyelet pops open under load
Check that the fabric edge is doubled over to provide better friction for the snap-lock mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the hole in your fabric is clean and slightly smaller than the 12mm opening to ensure the eyelet teeth can grip the material firmly. Align the male and female parts on either side of the fabric and press down firmly until you hear a clear snap. For maintenance, these eyelets require little attention; simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth if they accumulate dirt or mud. They are fully compatible with standard rope diameters up to 10mm and most plastic bungee cords.
