FAQs

What size grommets are included?

The kit includes 12 brass grommets with a 10mm internal diameter and a 20mm external diameter.

What materials can this kit be used on?

This kit is suitable for tarpaulins, tents, and similar fabrics or materials.

Do I need any other tools?

You'll need a hammer to set the grommets.

Can I buy replacement grommets?

Yes, replacement grommets are available. Ensure they match the 10mm internal diameter and 20mm external diameter of the included grommets.

How do I store the kit?

Store the kit in a dry place to prevent rust on the tools.

How long will the grommets last?

The brass grommets are durable and should last a long time with normal use. The lifespan depends on the wear and tear the tarp or tent receives.

Troubleshooting

Grommet not setting properly.

Ensure the tarp/tent material is flat on the wood block. Make sure you are using the correct mandrel and hitting it firmly and squarely with the hammer. Check that the grommet is correctly positioned on the anvil before setting.

Punch not creating a clean hole.

Ensure the punch is sharp and that the tarp material is flat on the wooden block. Consider using a piece of scrap wood under the tarp while punching to create a cleaner cut. If necessary, use a utility knife to trim any frayed edges around the hole.
