Product Information
Full details
The Performance Power Eyelet Set - 10mm is designed for crafters, DIY enthusiasts, and home repair users who need a reliable, professional method to secure fasteners in textile, paper, or leather projects. Its primary benefit is the inclusion of a specialized tool that ensures rivets are seated firmly and securely with minimal manual effort. A key caveat to keep in mind is that while it is versatile across many materials, it requires a steady hand and proper surface preparation to ensure the eyelet sits perfectly flush without distorting the fabric or material.

FAQs
Can I use this set on denim?
Yes, this set works effectively on durable textiles including denim, provided you punch an appropriately sized hole first.
What is the maximum diameter eyelet I can use?
This tool is designed to work with eyelets ranging from 10mm to 12mm.
Does this kit include a hole punch?
The set includes the eyelets and the setting tool; you will need a separate hole punch tool to create the initial opening in your material.
Will this work with other brands of eyelets?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with most standard eyelet brands within the 10mm-12mm size range.
Is this suitable for heavy-duty leather?
It is suitable for most leather crafts; however, for extremely thick saddle leather, ensure you have a clean hole and use sufficient force to set the fastener.
Troubleshooting
Eyelet is loose after installation
Ensure the hole punched is not too large; the eyelet should fit snugly. Apply more force when striking the setting tool to ensure the flange is fully compressed.
Material is fraying around the eyelet
Use a sharp hole punch to create a clean opening before inserting the eyelet. Avoid forcing the eyelet through material that has not been pre-punched.
Tool is slipping during use
Verify that you are using a stable, hard work surface such as a wood block or metal anvil. Ensure the setting tool is perfectly centered on the eyelet before applying pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have punched a hole slightly smaller than the 10mm diameter of the eyelet to allow for a snug fit. Place the eyelet through the material from the front, then place the back washer on the reverse side. Align the setting tool with the eyelet and apply firm pressure or light hammer taps to lock it in place. The set is compatible with most 10mm to 12mm eyelets available on the market. To maintain the longevity of the setting tool, keep it dry to prevent oxidation and store it in the provided packaging to avoid losing the internal guide components.
